One day, while Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq was praying, he entered such a state that he fell down unconscious. When he recovered, he was asked about it. He said: "I continued to repeat the verse over my heart until I heard it from the One who spoke it; and my body could not withstand the witnessing of His power."
(Ibn ʿAjība's Tafsīr)
