Once the Prophet (peace be on him) asked the Companion Harith ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him):
‘How are you this morning?’
He replied: ‘I am a true believer this morning’
The Prophet (peace be on him) said: ‘Every claim has a reality (proof), so what is the reality (proof) for your claim?’
He replied:
‘Since this morning, I have distanced myself from the world, I spent my night awake in worship and my day fasting.[Such is my conviction, that] I can almost see the throne of my Rabb being brought for accountability [on the day of Judgement].
[Such is my conviction, that] I can almost see the inhabitants in Jannah visiting one another therein, and I can almost hear the screams of the inhabitants of Jahannam.’
The Prophet (peace be on him) said to him: ‘[You are] a slave whose heart has been illuminated with Iman (belief). Remain steadfast on this perception of yours.’ (Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah, Kitabuz Zuhd of Imam ‘Abdullah Ibnul Mubarak)
It is another beautiful narration, which not that authentic, but its meaning is in line with general principles, it says:
When Allah wants goodness from His servant He makes him renounce the dunya and allow him to see his mistakes and defects. (narrated by Al-Daylami in Musnad al Firdaus and Bayhaqi)
