The ruling on one who is affected and harmed by listening to eloquent sermons

Question:
When I remember the grave, death, and eloquent sermons, I experience harm or weakness. It may even cause me a physical illness, and I go to the hospital. I also experience anxiety in my heart, which makes me stay away from some of the sermons. What is your opinion on this?

Answer:
This is good for you, that you are affected by the sermons. Even if it causes illness, do not stay away from them. Be prepared for the Hereafter, and strive to strengthen yourself so that you can receive the sermons without being affected in a way that harms you.
The Salaf used to be affected, to the point that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab would sometimes hear a verse from the Book of Allah and become ill from the intensity of his being affected by it. Likewise, it happens to the righteous and the good when they hear sermons and Qur'anic verses, and when they read them at night sometimes, they are affected by them. So, my brother, you have an example in them. You have an example in them.
