Taqwa, Financial Affluence & Burial

Hazrat Abdullah narrates, “Once Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud was feeling ill and became terrified. We asked, ‘We have never seen you this troubled at times of illnesses before this.’ He responded, ‘I became sick suddenly and do not consider myself as well prepared to face the afterlife and this is worrying me.’”

By the Grace of God Almighty Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud had become quite affluent that in the last years of his life, his financial worth was ninety-thousand dirham, he wrote in his will that at the time of burial, his shroud should consist of very simple cloths worth two hundred dirham. Hazrat Usman (ra) lead his funeral prayers and he was buried in Jannatul Baqee’ at nighttime.
