So I saw a glowing silver hill with drapes hanging on every door spread across the hill.  The doors were made of gleaming red gold and the drapes were of silk which was beautiful to the eye.  I rushed towards the hill, while the vicious snake was still chasing me. 

When I reached the hill the guardian angels shouted, "Open the curtains and the doors!"  I saw some children whose faces were like the moon there,  while the snake was right behind me.  I didn't know what to do.  Some of the children shouted to others, "Hurry up and help him because his enemy is approaching.

Suddenly I saw my daughter who had died.  She looked at me and cried.  Then she said, "Really, by Allah, he is my father!"  Then she threw light from her palm until it hit me.  Next, she stretched out her left hand, and took my right hand.  I held her hand tightly. Then she stretched out her right hand towards the snake, and that beast turned away.  My daughter took my arm and held me to sit down. I was so tired and weak. I brought my daughter to my chest and kissed her. My tears rolled down my cheek, not wanting to lose her for the second time.  I lifted her hand to my beard and carried her.  She looked at me with her beautiful eyes with affection and sincere love.  She said, "O my father. Has not the time come for those who believe to submit their hearts to remember Allah and to the truth that has come down (to them) (QS Al Hadid 57).

Hearing this verse I cried with incomparable cries as if I had just heard the verse for the first time.
