Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man is destined to die in a certain (region) of the earth, Allah makes a need (as a pretext) for him to reach that region. When that man reaches the final traces of his (life), death comes to him. On the Day of Resurrection, the earth will say: O my Lord! This is (the servant) whom You entrusted to me."
