Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass

ʿUmar Bin al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه was reciting Surat al-Ṭūr, until he reached the following Words of Allah:

{Most surely the punishment of your Lord will come to pass} [52:7],

وَهَذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الطُّورِ إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ: {إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَاقِعٌ} [سُورَةُ الطُّورِ: 77]

And he began to weep. His weeping increased until he became ill and people used to visit him due to his illness.

فَبَكَى وَاشْتَدَّ بُكَاؤُهُ حَتَّى مَرِضَ وَعَادُوهُ.

[Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Jawāb al-Kāfī 1/40]
