Commentary
Some of the scholars have described this to mean dying by internal illness, like diseases of stomach, liver and heart, etc. because all of these are inside the body. The Arabic word Baṭn means internal and not only stomach. A person dying with internal disease suffers and bears the pangs of pain and
lives in the state of fear and hope. In this situation he is patient with Allāh's Will and asks His blessings and forgiveness. Allāh's mercy saves him from the torment of the grave.
