"The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. So when you see the eclipse of either of them, hasten to the remembrance of Allah. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, Paradise was brought near to me, so that if I had stretched out my hand I would have plucked some of its clusters. And the Fire was brought near to me, until I began to hold myself back from it, fearing that it would overtake you. I saw in it a black, tall woman from Himyar being punished for a cat she had tied up; she did not let it eat from the insects of the earth, nor did she feed it, nor give it drink, until it died. I saw her attacking it when it approached, and when it turned away she attacked its head. And I saw in it the companion of the two sibtiyyah (sandals), the brother of Banu al-Da'da', who is pushed into the Fire with a two-pronged staff. And I saw in it the owner of the hooked staff who used to steal from you; he would hang on to his hooked staff in the Fire, saying: 'I am the thief of the hooked staff.'"
