Islamic Folklore The Tale of 500 Years of Worship Podcast Edition

Description

Angel Jibrail (AS) told Prophet Muhammad SAW the following incident about a man in the past who worshipped Allah Ta'ala continuously for 500 years. He was granted a shelter on top of a mountain that was surrounded by salty water. However, Allah caused a stream of sweet water to flow through the mountain for that individual. The man would drink from this water and use it to make ablution. Allah Ta'ala also raised a pomegranate tree from which the man would eat one fruit every day. One day, this person supplicated to Allah SWT (God) that, "Oh Allah, bring my death while I am in the state of prostration." Allah accepted this dua of his.
