Ibn
Jareer recorded that Sa`eed bin Jubayr said,
"A
man came to Ibn `Abbaasرضي اللّه عنـه and
said to him: ‘O Abaa al-`Abbaas, Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى
says,
﴿فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ
السَّمَآءُ وَالاٌّرْضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ ﴾
{And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor
were they given respite.}
[ad-Dukhaan 44:29]
‘Do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody?’ Heرضي اللّه عنـه said, ‘Yes, there is no one who
does not have a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and
his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses
him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray
and remember Allaah also weeps for him. But the people of Fir’awn left no trace
of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to
Allaah, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them.’”
Al-`Awfi
reported something similar from Ibn `Abbaas رضي اللّه
عنـه.
