ʿAbdullah b. ʿAwf has narrated that, “One night, I saw in my
sleep that the Day of Resurrection was taking place and all people
were lined up and being kept in a single file. I too was brought into
the line up and my actions were then taking account of after which
I was lead into paradise. When I entered into paradise, large and
beautified mansions were presented to me and it was said to me to
count the number of doors of the castle. When I began to count the
number of doors, I enumerated fifty. I was then told to count the
number of houses and when I counted them I saw that there were
155 homes. I was then told that all of this was for me! I awoke from
my dream, elated and went to Muḥammad b. Sirīn – a person who
had complete skills in the interpretation of dreams and explained
my dream to him. He said to me, ‘Is it true that you recite Āyatul
Kursī frequently?’ I replied, ‘Yes it is – how do you know?’ He said
to me, ‘I realized this as Āyatul Kursī has fifty words and 155 letters.’ He then said to me, ‘O ʿAbdullāh! Whosoever recites Āyatul
Kursī frequently will find the pangs of death (Sakaratul mawt)
will be made easy for him.’”
