It is narrated from Mansur bin Ammar (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I once performed Hajj and stayed in one of the lanes of Kufah. I went out on a dark night, and in the middle of the night I heard the voice of someone crying out, calling aloud: "O my God, by Your might and Your majesty, I did not intend opposition to You by disobeying You. When I disobeyed You, I was not at that time ignorant of Your station; rather, a sin presented itself, my wretchedness helped me towards it, and Your veil let down over me deceived me. I disobeyed You and opposed You out of my ignorance. So now who will rescue me from Your punishment? And if You cut Your rope off from me, whose rope shall I hold on to? Alas for my youth! Alas for my youth!" Mansur says: When he had finished his words, I recited this verse of the Book of Allah: "A Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are angels, stern and severe" [Surah al-Tahrim: 6] . I heard a violent movement, and after that I heard no sound, so I went on my way. The next day I passed back along the same way and saw a bier laid down, and an old woman was there. I asked her about the deceased, and she did not recognise me. She said: "A man passed by here, may Allah give him his due (for his deeds); last night he passed by my son while my son was standing in prayer. He recited a verse of the Book of Allah, and when my son heard that verse, his gall bladder burst and he died on the spot."
