THE TASTE OF DEATH IS EXTREMELY BITTER.

Someone once asked Hadhrat Isa (A.S) to raise a dead person for him. In compliance to the request, Allah allowed him to raise the son of Hadhrat Nooh (A.S) by the name of Saam. When he got up from his grave, his hair and beard were white. Hadhrat Isa (A.S) enquired from him as to how his hair turned white, because there was no old age in their time.

He replied, "When I heard the call, I thought that Qiyamah had arrived. This fear caused me to turn white." When he was asked as to when he had died, he replied, "Four thousand years ago, but the taste of death has still not left me."
