at the consequences of everything in the world and reflects that soon this thing will perish, and the owner of this thing will also be buried in the grave very soon."

*   Sayyidunā Ḥātim al-Aṣamm رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه also said: "If a person does not take heed when a funeral leaves his house, he derives no benefit from knowledge, wisdom, and advice."^[1]

How will one Endure the Heat of Hell

*   The Prophet of Allah, Sayyidunā Dāwūd عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, was very God-fearing. One day, he passed by a furnace with a blazing fire. Upon seeing this, he was reminded of the fire of Hell, and he became apprehensive. In restlessness, he fell to the ground and quivered so much that his joints nearly dislocated.

*   During hot days, Prophet Dāwūd عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام would come into the sunlight and say: "O Allah! If we cannot bear the heat of the sun, which You have created, how will we endure the heat of Hell?"^[2]

Every House Bears the Sign of Admonition

Sayyidunā Saˈib ꜤAbdī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه says:

One day, Sayyidunā Ṣāliḥ al-Murrī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه visited us, and I asked, "O Abu Bashr! Where have you come from?" He replied, "I left my house, and while travelling past different places, I came to you. When I passed by the house of so-and-so, it called out to me (figuratively), saying, 'O Ṣāliḥ! Seek admonition from me! Some people used to live here, but now they have passed away and are buried in the ground.'
