hadith 1 in the blessed weeping of the prophet peace be upon him
‘Abdullah bin Shikh-kheer Radiyallahu ‘Anhu says: ”I attended the noble assembly of Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam.
He was performing salaah. Because of his crying, such sound emmitted from his chest, like that of a boiling pot”.
Commentary
This was due to the total humbleness of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam.
hadith 2
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud Radiyallahu ‘Anhu says: ”Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam once
asked me to recite the Qur-aan to him.
(He might have said this because one might be able to concentrate more when one is listens, or he may have said this for another reason, which may include many reasons.
For example, the hearing of the recital of the Qur-aan is regarded as a sunnah, as a result of this deed of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) I said:
”O Messenger of Allah, should I recite it to you when it has been revealed to you?’ (Sayyidina ibn Mas’ud Radiyallahu ‘Anhu may have thought this recital was for tabligh as a reminder)
Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam said: ‘I love to hear it from another person”
Thereupon I began reciting Surah Nisaa (which begins from the last quarter of the 4th juz).
When I reached this aayah: ”But how (will it be with them) when We bring of every people a witness, and We bring thee (O Muhammed) a witness against these?”-Surah Nisaa,41 I saw tears flowing from both eyes of Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam”
Commentary
This crying of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam was due to the listening of the words of Allah, and this befits the dignity of the Qur-aan. Imaam Nawawi writes that to cry whilst reciting the Qur-aan is the quality of the ‘aarifeen and a sign of the saaliheen.
Allah Ta’aala has praised these people in the Qur-aan at many places.
Allah Ta’aala says:
“When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down (into sajdah), adoring and weeping”.-Surah Maryam, 58.
“Lo! those who were given knowledge before it, when it is read unto them, fall down prostrate on their faces, adoring”.-Surah Israa (Bani Israa-eel), 107.
hadith 3
masjid, commenced salaah, and stood in qiyaam for so long that it was felt that he did not intend to perform the ruku’.
(In another narration it is stated that he recited the Surah Baqarah.)
He then performed such a long ruku as if he did not want to come up from the Ruku’.
Then in the same manner after standing up from the ruku’ he stood up for such a long time as if he did not want to perform sajdah, here too he kept his mubaarak head on the ground for such a long time as if he was not going to lift his mubaarak head .
In this manner he did the same after lifting the head and sitting in jalsa, and after the jalsa in the second sajdah.
In short, in every rukn of the salaah this was done, that every rukn was so long, as if this rukn was going to be performed till the end, and there is nothing after it.
(In the same manner he performed the second rak’ah, and in the last sajdah), due to the intense fear he began taking heavy breaths and crying, and began pleading to the Almighty Allah that ‘O Allah, it is only You that have promised that when these people make
istighfaar there will be no punishment’.
This saying of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam refers to the aayah that is at the end of the ninth juz: ”But Allah would not punish them while thou was with them, nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness;;.-Surah AlAnfaal,33.
When Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam completed the salaah, the sun had cleared already.
Rasulullah Sallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam delivered a sermon after this. After uttering the hamd and thanaa, he talked o this subject, that the sun and moon does not eclipse because of the death or birth of anyone, but both are from among the signs of Allah Ta’aala.
(That gives His creation a warning so that they may fear Him). When the eclipses occurs then immediately turn towards Allah (begin istighfaar and performing salaah)”.
hadith 4
Ibn ‘Abbaas Radiyallahu ‘Anhu reports that one of the daughters of Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam was on her death bed. Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam picked her up and put her before him.
She passed away in his presence.
Ummi Ayman (who was a slave girl of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) began wailing aloud.
Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam said: “Are you crying before the Messenger of Allah?” (because tears were also flowing from the eyes of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu’Alayhi Wasallam).
She said: ‘Do I not see you cry?’ Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam replied: “This crying is not prohibited.
It is a mercy of Allah”. (He softens the hearts of His servants, and creates love and mercy in them).
Rasulullah Sallallahu’Alayhi Wasallam then said: “A Muslim is at peace at all times.
even when his soul is being taken out, he is busy uttering the hamd (praises) of Allah”.
hadith 5
‘Aayeshah Radiyallahu ‘Anha reports: “Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam kissed the
forehead of ‘Uthmaan bin Maz’oon after his death. At that time tears were flowing from his
eyes”.
