تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 10.19.1

10.19.1

I saw him one day while he was preaching. The Qurʾān reciter before him recited: "O people, fear your Lord; the quaking of the Hour is a mighty thing. On the day you see it, every nursing mother will forget what she nursed, and every pregnant woman will deliver her burden, and you will see people drunk, though they are not drunk; but the punishment of God is severe." Then the jurist ʿAlāʾ al-Dīn repeated it, and one of the faqīrs at the side of the mosque gave a great cry. The shaykh repeated the verse again, and the faqīr cried out a second time and fell dead! I was among those who prayed over him and attended his funeral.
