Hadith 255

r Notified any Prophet-as, nor a successor-as nor an Angel of Proximity upon it. O Meesam! There is no guarding from pre-determination. O Meesam! When the Decree comes, then there is no fleeing (from it)’. Ibn Muljim-la returned and entered to see Qatam, may Allah-azwj Curse her, and that night, was the night of the nineteenth of the month of Ramazan. Umm Kulsoom Bint Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said, ‘When it was the night of the nineteenth of the month of Ramazan, I-asws forwarded to him-asws, during his-asws breaking the Fast, a tray wherein were two discs of barley bread, and as jug wherein was milk, and coarse salt. When he-asws was free from his-asws Salat, he-asws came to break his-asws Fast. When he-asws looked at it and thought of it, shook his-asws head and cried an intense crying, loud, and said: ‘O daughter-asws! What are your-asws thoughts of a daughter doing wrong to her father, like what you-asws have been wrong to me-asws? ’ She-asws said, ‘And what is that O father-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘O daughter-asws! Are you-asws forward to your-asws father, two dips in one tray (meal)! Are you-asws wanting that my-asws pausing be prolonged tomorrow in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Qiyamah? I-asws want to follow my-asws brother-saww and son-saww of my-asws uncle-as Rasool-Allah-saww. No two dips were forwarded to him-saww in one meal until Allah-azwj Recalled him-saww. O daughter-asws! No man whose food is good, and his drink, and his clothes, except his pausing in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would be prolonged on the Day of Qiyamah. O daughter-asws! The world, in its Permissible(s), there is Reckoning, and in its Prohibitions, there is Punishment, and my-asws beloved Rasool-Allah-saww has informed me-asws that Jibraeel-as had descended unto him-saww and with him-as were treasures of the earth, and he-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! The ‘Salaam’ (Granter of security) Conveys the Greetings (Salaam) to you-saww and Says to you-saww: “If you-saww so desired, I-azwj can Transform the mount Tihama into gold and silver for you-saww, and take these keys to the treasures of the earth, and that would not reduce anything from your-saww share on the Day of Qiyamah! ”’
He-saww said: ‘O Jibraeel-as! And what will happen after that? ’ He-as said: ‘The death’. He-saww said: ‘Then there is no need for me-saww regarding the world. Leave me-saww to be hungry one day and be satiated one day. So, on the day in which I-saww will be hungry, I-saww shall beseech to my-saww Lord-azwj and ask Him-azwj. And the day in which I-saww would be satiated, I-saww shall thank my-saww Lord-azwj and praise Him-azwj’. Jibraeel-as said to him-saww: ‘You-asws have harmonised to all goodness, O Muhammad-saww! ’’
Then he-asws said: ‘O daughter-asws! The world is a house of deceit, and a house of disgrace. So, the one who sends forwards a thing, he would find it (in the Hereafter). O daughter-asws! By Allah-azwj! I-asws will not eat anything unto you-asws lift one of the two dips’. When she-asws had raised it, he-asws went forward to the meal and ate a disc (of bread) with the coarse salt. Then he-asws praise Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, then stood up to go to his-asws Salat. He-asws prayed Salat and did not cease to perform ruk’u and Sajdah and did not cease invoking and beseeching to Allah-azwj the Glorious, and frequently entering and exiting, and he-asws was looking towards the sky, and he-asws was anxiously fidgeting. Then he-asws recited Surah Yaseen until he-asws finished it. Then he-asws lied down for a while and woke up awed (overwhelmed), and he-asws went on to wipe his-asws face with his-asws cloth and got up standing upon his-asws feet, and he-asws was saying: ‘O Allah
