Hadith 3781

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ , عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَجِيءُ الْقُرْآنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَالرَّجُلِ الشَّاحِبِ , فَيَقُولُ : أَنَا الَّذِي أَسْهَرْتُ لَيْلَكَ , وَأَظْمَأْتُ نَهَارَكَ " .
´It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah that his father told that the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:` "The Quran will come on the Day of Resurrection, like a pale man, and will say: 'I am the one that kept you awake at night and made you thirsty during the day."

Benefits and Issues:

By "shaahib" is meant a person whose complexion has changed due to illness or because of intense labor and exhaustion.


The reason for this could be that just as the one who recited the Qur’an used to endure the effort and fatigue of recitation during the night prayer (tahajjud), the Qur’an too will be manifested in that very form.
And it could also mean that just as a person’s complexion would change due to recitation of the Qur’an and standing (in prayer), in the same way, the Qur’an too will exert itself to the utmost so that the believer may attain the highest possible rank.
And the effect of this exertion will be visible in its outward appearance.
And Allah knows best.
