35. Predicting The Time Of Death
Hajj Mu’min says:
The religious and righteous scholar, Sayyid Ali Khorasani confined himself in a chamber in Masjid Sardzak for worship for some years. One Thursday night he said:
Come to me at dawn, as it would be my last day. I came the following day to find him boiling milk on a coal stove. He took a glass and gave one to me. Then he said: I will pass away tonight. Aga Sayyid Hashim would perform my last rites (Prayer leader of Masjid Sardzak).
In the morning, the judge who resides near the Masjid would desire to give me shroud, but don't allow him; but you may allow Hajj Jalal Kannad to pay for my shroud. After that he sat down facing the Qibla and started reciting the Holy Qur’an.
Suddenly his eyes stopped moving and he recited the holy testimony of faith (Kalimah) approximately a hundred times: There is no god, except Allah. After that he stood up fully and said: Peace be on you, O grandmother. Then he lay down facing the Qibla and said: O Ali, O Master. Then he said: Young man, do not be afraid and don't worry about me. I am at peace, and I am going to my great-grandfather. Then he closed his eyes and his soul joined divine mercy.
