بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In Islam, there is no sin in using someone's lifestyle to motivate others. This is why I'm using Andallah. Yes. Abdallah, is the one i usually told you about *"that he is into Tahajjud business for for the past 10years".*

Few years ago,,

Something happened when he visited.. And this is what inspired me to prepared this article titled - *"My Yearly Visitor"*

Now,

*Are you ready to hear what happened when Abdallah, my friend visited?*

When he arrived, we went out to attend a program which lasted few hours.. Before we return home, he called my attention that "he is feeling severe headache & fever". To cut the long story short, I took him to a clinic for medication before taking him back to my house towards evening.. In the middle of the night, he woke up, perform dry ablution, establish 2rakaats nawafil sitting down, folded the prayer mat and laydown on the bed. Two minutes after, he stood up again and put down the prayer mat again and started reciting suratul baqarah "Offhand" from the beginning to end.. When he finished, i asked him the following question.

*Question:*

Even with ur health condition, Why did u observe Tahajjud & recite the entire verses of suratul baqarah (286 verses)?

*His response No 1:*

If I will live in this world for another 60years, I don't want to miss waking up for midnight prayer for a single night because good deeds "*Done Repeatedly"* appear in the form of a handsome companion in the grave of the person who does it.

Evidence:

From a long narration of hadith narrated, al-Bara’ ibn ‘Aazib (ra) that the Prophet (saw) said:

"....Then there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes, and a good fragrance, who says, ‘Receive the glad tidings that will bring you joy this day.’ He says, ‘Who are you? Your face is a face which brings glad tidings.’ He says, ‘I am your righteous deeds...." 📚 Ahmad (4/362)

This reminds me,

"A graveyard caretaker was once asked: *"Have you ever, during your so many days in a graveyard, observed any astonishing thing?"* He said: *"Yes"*. Only the other day people brought here a body, buried it and went away. After a while, a very foul smell spread the like of which I had never known. Then all of a sudden I saw a terribly horrifying form of a black dog-like animal. The foul smell was emanating from its body. That fearsome form then came nearer and disappeared inside the aforesaid new grave and came out of the said grave after a long time. Then, after a little while, a very sweet and pleasing fragrance began to spread around the like of which also I had never felt in my life. In the mean time, I observed a very handsome form which also approached the aforesaid grave and disappeared inside the aforesaid grave. Anyway, after a few moments, that beautiful shape (form) emerged out of that grave but in a wounded and blood stained condition. I exclaimed: My Lord! Explain to me what is this all that I am observing? Who are these two kinds of forms? Then, that faithful day, (In the state of dreaming) I was informed that the good looking form was that of the good deeds done by the dead person. So also, the ugly form also was of his evil deeds. As the number of bad deeds done by the buried person was bigger than that of his good deeds, the latter (that's - bad deeds) remained with him as his companion in the grave".
