A certain person asked A'ishah: "Tell
me something noteworthy concerning Nabi SAW" She answered:
"There was nothing which was not unusual about him. Everything
he did was noteworthy. One night he
came and lay down beside me. After
sometime, he got up saying, 'Now let me pray to my Lord, the
Sustainer'."
With this, he stood up in Salaah,
humbling himself before his Creator with such sincerity that tears
rolled down his cheeks to his beard and on to his chest. He then
bowed for Ruku' and Sajdah, and his tears flowed down as fast as
before and after raising his head from his Sajdah, he continued
weeping in this manner till Hadhrat Bilalannounced the approach of
Fajr Solah.
I pleaded with him: "O, Nabi of
Allah! you are sinless, as Allah has in His kindness, forgiven your
each and every sin (even if committed) in the past and which may
happen in the life to
come (XLVIII: 2) and still you grieve
so much."
Nabi saw replied: "Why should I
then not be a grateful slave of Allah ?" He then added, "Why
should I not be praying like this when Allah has today revealed to me
these verses?"
