ABU AAMIR (R.A.) And Ever Fasting Women

In the slave on sale market women slaves were being purchased. But, the people preferred good looking and healthy women. In a corner a rejected and discarded looking girl was also standing. On her, nobody paid attention. She was very emaciated teenaged girl with lean and thin body. Skeleton of bones were thin and the flesh was hanging like the cloth on a rope. Her hair was like dry bunch of straw similar to the nest of house sparrow. Aamir (R.A.) took pity on this women and purchased her at very small sum. He told her,- come women, follow me, we will go to market for essential purchase for Ramadan. As she was, already throughout  all the year remained on fasting, She remarked Aamir (R.A) ---------Alhamdulillah I have been observing fast all the months like Ramadan.  She fasted in the day and stood in the salaat for all the nights. 
When Eid came nearer Aamir (R.A) said the women now, you have to come with me tomorrow for Eid purchase.  Women remarked, my master it seems you are  too much absorbed in the worldly affairs then remembering God.  She went  towards her room in the house and started her salaat. when she recited sixteenth verse of surah Ibrahim which tells us.
“Hell is before him and he is made to drink boiling fetid water on the dooms day (for disbeliever or week believer)” she repeated it again and again,  a number of times and ultimately gave out a big cry and then breathed her last. What an explicit example of fear of Almighty, taken to nerves by her true devotion towards God.
