Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him),“O Ka’b, tell us something about death.”He replied,“Why not, O Commander of the Faithful! It is like a branch with many thorns, which is inserted into the belly of a person, and every thorn becomes entangled in a vein. Then someone pulls it out forcefully; whatever comes out, comes out, and whatever remains, remains.”
