It is narrated from Abu Imran al-Jawni (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by the place of worship of a Christian monk and called out to him: O monk! O monk! The monk looked out (at him), and on seeing him Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep. It was said to him: O Commander of the Believers, what about his condition makes you weep? He said: I remembered this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, in His Book: "Labouring and exhausted, they will enter a scorching Fire; they will be given drink from a boiling spring." [Surah al-Ghashiyah: 3-5] This is what made me weep. This is an anecdote of that time, because Abu Imran al-Jawni did not reach the era of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).
