When we reached (a city named) ꜤIbādān, we friends collected some money together and gave it to this new Muslim. Seeing the money, he asked: What is this? We said: We are helping you. He replied nonchalantly: سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! You showed me a path that you yourselves do not know. Well, when I was on the island, worshipping other than Allah, Allah Almighty did not leave me hungry at that time, so how would He let me go to waste now? Saying this, he parted ways with us.

After a considerable time, I received the news that the new Muslim is in the state of agony (near death), I quickly reached him. I offered Salam. I asked: Do you have any need? He replied: That Lord of the universe whom I did not even recognise, He had fulfilled my need by sending you to the island; now there is no need. He states: Shortly after this, the soul of that new Muslim departed and he arrived before his Lord.

Now I performed his funeral bathing and shrouding, etc., offered his funeral prayer and buried him. At night, I had a dream of a beautiful dome, beneath it was laid a lovely throne, a most beautiful Hoor (maiden of Paradise) is sitting on the throne, and that new Muslim is sitting close to the Hoor in a very good state, and the Hoor is repeatedly saying to him:^[1]

سَلٰمٌ عَلَیْكُمْ بِمَا صَبَرْتُمْ فَنِعْمَ عُقْبَى الدَّارِؕ(۲۴)

“Peace be upon you as you were patient, so how excellent is the abode of the Hereafter!”^[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                          صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه ! Dear Islamic brothers! What splendour! Whomever the Merciful Lord showers His mercy upon; his fortunes are entirely transformed.
اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! We are Muslims, people of faith; we should express gratitude to Allah Almighty for this bounty.
