When Al Mansur Bin Ammar (May Allah have mercy on him) once entered the court of Abdul-Malik bin Marwan the latter said “ O Mansur, I have a question for you, and I will give you respite for an entire year to answer it : Who is the wisest of people, and who is the most ignorant of people?

Al-Mansur, left the castle and spent some time in the contemplation in the nearby courtyard. Then the answer came to him, and so he quickly hurried back to Abudul Malik “ O Mansur, why have you returned ? asked Abdul Malik.

The wisest of people, O leader of the believers, is the doer of good deeds who fears ( Not having his deeds accepted), Said Al Mansur .

And the most ignorant of people is he who dose good deeds and feels safe ( in that his deeds will be accepted)

Upon hearing these words Abdul- Malik began to cry until his garment became soaked in tears. He then said “ You have done well, O Mansur, Now recite a part of Quran to me for the Quran is a cure for what is in the breasts of men
Mansur then recited these Verses:

يوم تجد كل نفس ما عملت من خير محضراً وما عملت من سوء تود لو أن بينها وبينه أمدا بعيداً ويحذركم الله نفسه والله رؤوف بالعباد ​

On the Day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. And Allah warns you against Himself And Allah is full of kindness to those that serve Him “ QURAN 3:30


You have killed me o Mansur , Said Abdul Malik , “O Mansur what dose “ And Allah warns you against Himself , mean?

It means His punishment , said Mansur

And what is the meaning of every person will be confronted with all the good he has done? asked Abdul Malik.

It means that every person will be confronted on the Day of Resurrection by all of his deeds, the largest of them and the tiniest of them. Allah will not leave out or forget any of that.
Abdul Malik then continued to cry until begin overcome with fear, he fainted​

Note:
Subhan Allah he fainted from fear of Allah, and we read and recite whole Quran and don’t even cry some times ….!

 

[Mrmuslim]

It was narrated that in the days that Musa alayhis salaam wandered with Bani Israeel in the desert, an intense drought befell them. Together, they raised their hands towards the heavens praying for the blessed rain to come. Then, to the astonishment of Musa alayhis salaam and all those watching, the few scattered clouds that were in the sky vanished, the heat poured down, and the drought intensified.

It was revealed to Musa that there was a sinner amongst the tribe of Bani Israeel who had disobeyed Allah subhaanahu wa ta ‘aala for more than forty years of his life. “Let him separate himself from the congregation,” Allah subhaanahu wa ta ‘aala told Musa alayhis salaam. “Only then shall I shower you all with rain.”

Musa alayhis salaam then called out to the throngs of humanity, “There is a person amongst us who has disobeyed Allah for forty years. Let him separate himself from the congregation and only then shall we be rescued from the drought.”

That man waited, looking left and right, hoping that someone else would step forward, but no one did. Sweat poured forth from his brow and he knew that he was the one. The man knew that if he stayed amongst the congregation all would die of thirst and that if he stepped forward he would be humiliated for all eternity.

He raised his hands with a sincerity he had never known before, with humility he had never tasted, and as tears poured down on both cheeks he said, “O Allah, have mercy on me! O Allah, hide my sins! O Allah, forgive me!”

As Musa alayhis salaam and the people of Bani Israeel waited for the sinner to step forward, the clouds hugged the sky and the rain poured. Musa alayhi salaam asked Allah subhaanahu wa ta ‘aala, “O Allah, you blessed us with rain even though the sinner did not come forward.”

And Allah subhaanahu wa ta ‘aala replied, “O Musa, it is for the repentance of that very person that I blessed all of Bani Israeel with water.”

Musa alayhis salaam, wanting to know who this blessed man was, asked, “Show him to me O Allah!”

Allah subhaanahu wa ta ‘aala replied, “O Musa, I hid his sins for forty years, do you think that after his repentance I shall expose him?”

So Ask forgivness every time and all the time,

Wa salaam
