1641 – ʿAbd Allah narrated to us; my father narrated to me; Yunus ibn ʿUbayd said: “I was present with al-Hasan and heard him, when his illness had grown heavy, repeatedly saying: inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiʿun (Indeed we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return). He went on like that until he fell silent. Then his son ʿAbd Allah leaned over him and said, ‘Father, why are you reciting the istiʿrjāʿ? You have frightened us—have you seen something?’ He replied, ‘My son, I uttered it for my own sake; never have I been afflicted by anything like this before.’”}
