Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates about Hazrat Abu Maisarah, he says that when he would come to his bed, he would start crying and then say: I wish my mother had never given birth to me. He was asked: Why?

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Shurahbeel that he said: A man died and people thought that he was pious. Then someone came to his grave and it was said to him: "We will strike you with a hundred lashes of God's punishment." He said: "For what reason will you lash me when I used to be very cautious and pious?" It was said: "Fifty." The number kept decreasing until it reached one lash. So he was struck with one lash, and the grave was set ablaze with fire and the person perished. Then he was brought back to life and he said: "For what reason did you strike me with a lash?" They replied: "One day you knowingly performed prayer while you were without ablution, and a weak, poor person sought help from you but you did not help him."
