عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ خَرَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَامَتِهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِمَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْخَصَاصَةِ وَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْأَعْرَابُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مَجَانِينُ فَإِذَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَأَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تَزْدَادُونَ حَاجَةً وَفَاقَةً قَالَ فَضَالَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ
Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead the people in prayer, due to hunger, people would fall down during the standing (qiyam) of the prayer. These people belonged to the Ashab al-Suffah. The Bedouins used to say: "These people have gone mad." When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would complete the prayer, he would turn towards them and say: "If you knew what reward and recompense Allah has for you, you would wish that your need and hunger would increase even more." Sayyiduna Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on that day.
