"Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: 'My Lord, send me back'" (Quran 23:99). Al-Hasan said: There is no one among the creation of Allah who is not a friend of Allah except that he asks to return to the worldly life at the moment of death, speaking with words that he utters, even if he were a mute who had never spoken a single letter in the worldly life. This is because when it becomes clear to him that he is among the people of the Fire, he asks for the return, but those who are next to him do not hear him.
﴿حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَهُمُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ رب ارْجِعُونِ﴾ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ، لَيْسَ لِلِّهِ بِوَلِيٍّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَسْأَلُ الرَّجْعَةَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ بِكَلَامٍ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَخْرَسَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا بِحَرْفٍ قَطُّ؛ وَذَلِكَ إِذَا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، سَأَلَ الرَّجْعَةَ وَلَا يسمعهُ من يَلِيهِ
