A Crying Man Who also Makes Others Cry | Disturber of The Hearts
Yahya ibn al-Munkadir narrated: “I heard some of those who knew Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir saying: ‘One night, he was praying and cried but his crying became excessive that his family became worried for him but nevertheless that did not lessen his tears, rather it only increased them.
His family requested Abu Hazim to come over [to calm him down] so when he arrived he found him still crying. So he asked him: ‘O my brother, what made you cry so much? For you have made your family worry about you?’ He said: ‘I came across an ayah I recited from the book of Allah, Exalted is He.’ Abu Hazim asked: ‘Which ayah is it?’ He replied: ‘It is, the statement of Allah, The Most Hight,
“And there will appear to them from Allah that which they had not taken into account.” [Zumar 39:47]
Upon hearing this ayah, Abu Hazim was emotionally moved and started weeping as well.’
And Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir was on his deathbed he panicked and said: ‘I fear that it will appear to me from Allah that which I had not taken into account.’ His brother, Umar ibn al-Munkadir also used to say: ‘An ayah from the book of Allah that brought me to tears is,
“And there will appear to them from Allah that which they had not taken into account.” [Zumar 39:47]
