It is mentioned in ‘Bihaarul Anwaar, Part 3 that one day the last Prophet
Muhammad (SAW) WENT TO SEE HIS COUSIN Hazrat Ali Bin Abi
Talib (A.S) whose eyes were paining severely. Despite being almost a
mountain of patience he was complaining. The Holy Prophet (S) told
such a terrible news to him that he forgot the pain in his eyes.
The Holy Prophet said : O Ali ! Jibreel has told me that when angels in
charge of divine chastisement arrive to seize the souls (to end the life) of
the Kuffaars (deniers) of Mecca, they punish them with rods and lashes
of fire while taking possession of their souls. Ameerul Mumineen (A)
asked : O Messenger of Allah ! will your followers also experience such a
death ? Huzoor replied : Three groups of Muslims will face such painful
deaths viz, a tyrant ruler , one who eats the property of an orphan and
the one who gives a false witness.
