- A great worshipper lived on an island and worshipped Allah Ta’ala for two hundred years. He made Dua to Allah: “I desire to worship You, so make some provision for me.” He was surrounded by the salty waters of the ocean, but Allah had provided a spring which was a means of fresh water and Allah provided him with a pomegranate tree which would bear two pomegranates for him daily, one in the morning and one in the evening. The pomegranate provided sufficient strength for him to make Ibaadah of Allah. He had exerted himself in the Ibaadah of Allah to such an extent that when the angels would descend with the commands of Allah, then they would pass by him to get barakah. When returning to Allah they used to pass by him again to obtain barakah. When he had passed away, Allah told him: “By my Fadhl (grace), enter Jannah!” Fadhl actually means to receive something for free. He then asked: “You are entering me into Jannah free of charge, what about my Ibaadah of two hundred years?”Allah then said: “If you want a proper reckoning, the price of a single eye is two hundred years Ibaadah.” The two hundred years of Ibaadah was now exhausted as he had to pay for one eye. So how was he going to pay for the second eye? Reckoning for the Ni’mat (bounties) of Allah had hardly started and he had no Ibaadah to his credit to pay for the bounties which Allah had favoured him with. Allah then commanded the angels to take him towards Jahannam as he was unable to pay for the bounties of Allah, so he began pleading to Allah.Allah then told him: “I am entering you into Jannah by my fadhl (grace and mercy).”
