Afraid of the Dark

It is reported that if Hishâm Al-Dustawâ`î – Allâh have mercy on him – didn’t have a torch on at home, he would toss and turn in bed until his wife would come with a torch. She asked him about this once, to which he replied, “If I don’t have a torch, I think about the darkness of the grave.”

Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ`, in his biography of Hishâm Al-Dustawâ`î.
