MY WIFE, MY SELF AND PEARL NECKLACE WITH A RED THREAD

My Wife, Myself And The Pearl Necklace With a Red Thread

Abu Muzhaffar, a grandson of Ibn Jauzi said : Ibn Aqil Rahimahullah told ( a short story) about himself, And said :

I once set out to perform Hajj. In the blessed lands, Suddenly I found a pearl necklace strung on a red thread. Close by, I heard an old blind Sheikh announcing that he was looking for that necklace, even he would give a reward of a hundred dinars (Arab’s currency) for the person who returned it to the poor Sheikh.I returned it to him.

He requested me, “Take this dinars (the reward)”, but I refused.

I then left for Syria and visited Baitul Maqdis. Enroute to Baghdad, I stopped at the Masjid in the city, Halab (Aleppo, Syiria), where I took refuge in a Masjid due to cold and hunger. The jamaah (the people who comes to pray congregation) of the Masjid (mosque) came up to me, so I lead their prayer. Then I had a meal from them.  

It was the first of Ramadan, and they said to me :

"Our Imam has passed away and we would like you to lead us in prayer for the remainder of the month." I agreed.

After a time, they mentioned to me that their previous Imam had a daughter of marriageable age. They suggested that I marry her and I agreed. After a year, she gave birth to our son, but fell critically ill immediately thereafter (after nifas/childbirth).

One day, I looked at the necklace she was wearing-it was the very same necklace strung with a red thread I had found many years ago.

I said to her, "This necklace has a story of its own," and I related the incident between me and the Sheikh to her.

Tears filled her eyes and she asked, "You… are truly the man who found it ? I swear to God . My father would cry and make du'a' : 'O Allah, grant my daughter a husband like the man who returned this necklace to me.' Trully, Allah has accepted his du'a'." Soon thereafter, she passed away.

This beautiful and bizarre story is included in Mirâtu az-Zaman page. 8 / 52-53. I quoted from Siyar A'lâmin Nubalâ ': 14 / 332-333 (published Dârulhadïts-Cairo, 1427-H), written by Adz-Dzahabi rahimahullah (Died: 748-H).

The story of Sakaratul Maut ( Death’s door ) of a Youth who devoted to his Mother.

The story of Sakaratul Maut ( Death’s door ) of a Youth who devoted to his Mother. 

In one of his sermons,

Sheikh Muhammad Hassan told about the miracles of a young man when the last time of  “sakaratul maut” (death’s door) came to take him up. It’s familiar to anyone who knew him that he was a portrait of today's youth that love so much and devoted to his mother.

"Among the miracles that come to me in this Ramadan is the story of a young man among our young children. The figure of a young man who was very devoted to his mother lying on the bed of death in his golden age, which was not yet thirty years. In the urgency of the end of his life, when seconds of sakaratul maut take him up, the people around him were surprised when hearing the words he uttered were very amazing. Indeed, it is amazing!

"No.  I cannot. I cannot. I have to ask my mother’s permission . "
Still the young man repeated the same sentence.

Until makes them who witnessed the phenomenon rusched to call her mother, who has been standing apart, in her room, crying, because she could not see her beloved son was facing the death's door (sakaratul maut). It's because her beloved son was a role model fugure that very kind to his mother. They also preach what had been goin on what had been goind on with her son. 

"Go and have a look your son, he contantly say things weird !!"

Hearing this, the anxious mother suddenly ran towards his room. Founding her son's forehead began bringing up beads of sweat like a pearl. And these are some of the signs of Husnul Khotimah (happy in the end of dying as Muslim). May allah destine us all to die in khusnul khotimah. 

She listened herself to her son's sentences that continues to be repeatd by her lovly son, 

"No..! I cannot. I cannot. I have to ask my mother's permission first..."

Soon she approached her lovely son.. And Subhanallah, she immediately asked her beloved son, 

"O my lovely son, it's me, your mother. O my lovely son, it's me.....I am your Mum, my son. To whom are you talking to ?"

When death came nearer, at such a short time, finally this pious young man tells the most memorable events he had never felt before in his life. He then turned to his mother and said

"O my mother, a very beautiful girl, Mum. I have never seen such a beautiful girl. She is coming here. Really I see her exactly in front of me. She comes to propose herself to me, Mum. I told her, no. I cannot until I ask permission from my mother. "

Then the mother was immediately responded, "I give my permission, my son. Indeed, she is hurriyah (the women of paradise/angel) from heaven for you. I've given you my permission, son. "

What a high degree you have, young man ?

Until your wife (in heaven) come to bring the good news, while you are still there in the world?

Don’t you be surprised. And  you don’t need to be wondered, because in these condition, a mumkmin (a believer) will be shown his residence in heaven and in hell. He will see his place in the sight of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla.

In fact, he will see the angels. He actually see the angels with his own eyes. He also will hear a bisyarah (good news). 

And the All True, God Almighty said :

Allah will establish in strength those who believe with the Word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter; but Allah will leave to stray those who do wrong: Allah does whatever He wills."[Ibrahim: 27]

And the All-True God Almighty said:

As for those who say: "Our God is Allah," and further strand straight and steadfast, the angels will descend on them, saying: "Let nothing fear or grieve you. Rejoice for the good news of paradise that has been promised to you.

Where is the incident?

At the top of the mattress when they will die, according to one opinion. Or when they come out of the grave, as the opinion of others from the scholars’ interpretation. "Do not be the one you fear, and do not be too sad. O you, be happy for the heaven that has been promised to you. "[Fushilat: 30]
