After the death of Sayyidunā Mālik Bin Anas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا, someone saw him in a dream and asked, ‘How did Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ treat you?’ He رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ replied, ‘I was blessed with forgiveness just because of a sentence which Sayyidunā ‘Ušmān-e-Ghanī رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ used to say on seeing a funeral: سُبۡحٰنَ الۡحَيِّ الَّذِيۡ لَا يَمُوۡتُ [Pure is He (from all defects/limitations) who is alive and will never die]. Hence, I also used to recite the same sentence on seeing a funeral; Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgave me because of reciting it.’
