An old man was worshiping man among the children of Israeel. One while he was praying he saw two boys plucking feathers from a rooster. He continued praying and didn’t prohibit them from doing that. Allah then commanded earth: "Cleave under the feet of My servant." And so it cleaved and he fell and will still be falling till eternity.
