![Photo: Umar (Radi’Allahu Anhu) Weeps over the Exertion of a Christian Monk
Abu Imraan Jowni narrates that Umar (Radi’Allahu Anhu) once passed by a monk and remained standing there. Someone called the monk and told him that the Ameerul Mu'mineen was there. When the monk peeped out, the effects of difficulty, exertion and forsaking the world were clearly apparent on his face (he had grown extremely pale and haggard on account of his spiritual exertions). Looking at him, Umar (Radi’Allahu Anhu) began to weep. "But he is a Christian," someone commented. Umar (Radi’Allahu Anhu) replied, "I know, but I feel sorry for him because I thought of the verse in which Allaah mentions:
{He who suffered affliction and who endured many difficulties (thinking
that he was pleasing Allaah whereas his beliefs and actions did not
conform with the injunctions ofAllaah). He shall enter the blazing fire.}
{Surah Ghaashiya, verses 3,4)
I feel sorry for him because despite his exertion and efforts in this world, he
shall still end up in Jahannam." [Bayhaqi, Ibn Mundhir and Haakim as quoted in Kanzul Ummaal (vol -1, Pg. 175).]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1.0-9/10403067_255903924612698_7696929714421225609_n.jpg)
