Hazrat Ibn Abi Mulaikah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have traveled with Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from Makkah to Madinah and from Madinah to Makkah. Whenever Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) would stop at a place, he would stay there at night and weep a lot. I asked, "What is this sound?" He replied, "It is the sound of weeping and crying," and he used to recite the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَجَائَتْ سَکْرَۃُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْحَقِّ ذَلِکَ مَا کُنْت مِنْہُ تَحِیدُ }.
