To which they replied that, “When we were told to arise, we thought that Qayamat had come, and our hair turned grey due to it's fright”. Those A'mal which eases the trouble of Qayamat I state hereunder ten such A'amals which eases the troubles and difficulties of Qayamat: (1) It is related that a person who recites Surah-al-Yusuf daily during the day or night, will arise on the day of Qayamat with the likeness of the beauty of Prophet Yusuf (A.S.), and will be saved from the fear of Qayamat.
Imam Mohammad-al-Baqir (A.S.) says that a person who recites Surah-ad-Dukhan in Nafela Prayers or obligatory (Wajib) Namaz, will remain safe from the fear of Qayamat. Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) says that a person who recites Surah-al-Ahqaf on the day or night on friday, will be safe from all fears of this world as well as the hereafter.
In another tradition Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) says that a person who recites Surah-al-Asr in Supererogatory (Nafela) Prayers, will arise in delight on the day of Qayamat. His face will be glowing, and his eyes shining, and he will enter Paradise in this cheerful state.
(2) Shaikh Kulaini narrates from Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) who says that the Holy Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.S.) said, that whoever respects a man with a white beard, Allah will grant him refuge from the fear of the day of Qayamat. (3) The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) says, that whoever dies while going to Mecca or returning from there, will be saved by Allah from the fear of the day of Qayamat.
Shaikh Sadooq quotes the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) as saying that whoever dies in the courtyard of the Ka'bah or Masjide Nabawi (in Medina), will arise in a manner that he will be free from all terror and fear. (4) Shaikh Sadooq quotes Imam Sadiq (A.S.) as saying that whoever is buried in the courtyard of the Ka'bah, will be saved from the fright of Qayamat.
(5) Shaikh Sadooq narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) that He said, if a person guards himself from sins or the lustful passions (of his self), only for the sake and fear of Allah, Allah will make the fire of hell forbidden upon him and keep him away from the fear of Qayamat. (6) The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.S.) says that Allah will grant refuge from the fear of Qayamat the man who keeps away from the passions of his self.
