He fell unconscious

Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa – Volume 8, Page 442

Abu Bakr ibn ‘Ayyaash said:

I prayed [the] Maghrib [prayer] behind Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyaadh, with his son ‘Ali at my side. He (Fudhayl) recited:

{Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you} [- soorah at-Takaathur]

…and when he recited [the verse]:

{You will surely see the Hellfire}

…‘Ali [was overcome and] fell unconscious – on his face.
