Many of the people were highway robbers. al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyad was a highway robber, and one night, he came up to a house that he wanted to rob, only to find its owner standing up at night in prayer, reciting:

{“Has not the time come for the hearts of those who to be affected by Allah’s Reminder and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term was prolonged for them, and their hearts were hardened? And many of them were sinners.”} [al-Hadid; 16]

He then said: “Yes, the time has come!” And he repented on the wall of the very house he was about to rob, and became al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyad, the greatest of worshippers and ascetics, and from the greatest of scholars and Muhaddithin!
