Hazrat Urwah narrates that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: When we came to Madinah, at that time Madinah was a place afflicted with disease. So Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Bilal became ill. When Hazrat Abu Bakr recovered, he used to recite this verse: Every person wakes up among his family in such a state that death is closer to him than the strap of his sandal. And when Hazrat Bilal recovered, he used to recite this verse: I wish, O my Lord, that I could spend a night in the valley of Makkah in such a state that around me would be the grass of Idhkhir and Thumamah. And will I ever come to the water of Majannah one day, and will the springs of Shamah and Tufail ever appear before me?
