Sulayman bin Abdul Malik, who was a king of the Umayyad dynasty, once inquired from Sheikh al-Hadith Abu Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him), "What is the reason that we love this world and dislike the Hereafter?" He immediately replied, "Because you have populated and built up your world, and ruined your Hereafter. Therefore, you fear moving from a populated place into a ruined wasteland." Then Sulayman asked, "If only we could know what our condition will be in the Hereafter?" Abu Hazim replied, "Read the Quran, you will find out." Sulayman asked, "Which verses should I read?" He recited: (اِنَّ الْاَبْـرَارَ لَفِىْ نَعِـيْمٍ ،وَاِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِىْ جَحِـيْمٍ) meaning, 'Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure, and indeed, the wicked will be in Hellfire.' Sulayman then inquired, "What will be the scene of the servants' appearance in the court of Allah?" Abu Hazim answered, "As for the righteous, their state will be like a traveler who returns happily to his family after years of separation. And as for the wicked, their state will be like a runaway slave who is captured and presented before his master." This truthful speech of Sheikh Abu Hazim pierced Sulayman's heart like an arrow of profound impact, and he cried out and began to weep intensely.
