From Attâ who said, 'Ubayd bn Umayr and I entered upon Aaisha – may Allâh be pleased with her – who then said to Ubayd bn Umayr: 'This is the time for you to visit us.' He replied: 'O mother, I say as the first said: 'Visit at intervals increases love.' He said, 'She – may Allâh be pleased with her – said: 'Spare us from this your gibberish!' Ibn Umayr said: 'Tell me the most wondrous thing you saw in the Messenger of Allâh.' He said, 'She kept quiet after which she said, 'There was a night he – Sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam – said, 'O Aaisha, leave me let me worship my Lord.' I said, 'By Allâh, I love to be close to you and I love whatever pleases you.' She – may Allâh be pleased with her – said, 'The Messenger of Allâh – Sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam – then stood up and cleaned himself after which he began to observe prayer.' She – may Allâh be pleased with her – said, 'He did not cease from crying until his side became wet.' She – may Allâh be pleased with her – said, 'He was sitting while he went on crying until his beard became soaked.' She – may Allâh be pleased with her – said, 'He still went on crying until the ground became soaked. Bilâl then came announcing Prayer to him. When Bilâl saw the Messenger of Allâh – Sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam – crying, he said, 'O Messenger of Allâh – Sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam – , you cry while Allâh has forgiven you your past and future sins?' He – Sallallâhu alayhi wa sallam – said, 'Shouldn't I be a thankful servant of Allâh? Indeed a Verse was revealed to me last night; woe unto whomever recites it but does not reflect upon it: "Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and In the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding."
