He said: Yes. He said: Perhaps you will be a scholar or a commander. As for his glorification, you are in distress and grief, and Allah the Mighty and Majestic will relieve you of it, on account of His saying, the Exalted: "So he called out in the darknesses, 'There is no god but You; glory be to You; indeed I was among the wrongdoers.'" He had not waited long before a man took him by the hand and said to him: Are you al-Qa'qa'? He said to himself: This is nothing but a creditor pressing me. But the man said to him: Sa'danah is a sick woman, and she is making her bequest and is calling for you. So he went with him, and there was a group of elders and a written document that Sa'danah had assigned a third of her wealth to al-Qa'qa'. So she bequeathed to him a third of her wealth, and she died after three days.
