One night, 'Umar RA was on his security
patrol when he saw a light and heard a sound coming from a house. He
peeped in to find an old lady spinning wool and singing a few poems
with the following meaning:
"May Allah accept the prayers of
the pious and the chosen ones who are seeking blessings for Muhammad
SAW."
"O, Allah's Nabi! You worshipped
each night and you wept before each day."
"I wish to know if I could be
together with my beloved (Nabi SAW)."
"For death comes in different ways
and I do not know how I shall die."
'Umar RA on hearing these poems sat
down weeping in love and memory of Nabi SAW.
