The young man recited the kalimah. The Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم issued him glad tidings of Paradise, before turning to his Companions and mentioning the following verse of the Quran.^[1]

ذٰلِکَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِیْ وَ خَافَ وَعِیْدِ (۱۴)

This is for the one who fears standing in My Court and fears My warning.^[2]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! This was the spiritual state of the Companions! Their fear of Allah completely overcame them when they recited or heard the Quran.

Also, look at the mercy of our Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! When this young Companion fainted due to the overwhelming fear of Allah, the Prophet        صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم honoured him with glad tidings of Paradise! سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The Day of Judgement

Now remember, Allah has said:

وَ کَذٰلِکَ  اَوْحَیْنَاۤ  اِلَیْکَ قُرْاٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لِّتُنْذِرَ اُمَّ الْقُرٰی وَ مَنْ حَوْلَہَا وَ تُنْذِرَ یَوْمَ الْجَمْعِ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْہِ ؕ فَرِیْقٌ فِی الْجَنَّۃِ  وَ فَرِیْقٌ فِی السَّعِیْرِ (۷)

And thus, We have revealed an Arabic Quran to you, so you may warn the central city and everyone around it and warn of the Day of Gathering in which there is no doubt, ˹when˺ a group will be in Paradise and a group in the Blaze.^[3]
