Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that Hazrat Dawood (peace be upon him) performed such a long prostration with weeping and lamentation that due to the moisture of his tears, greenery grew around him. So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, revealed to him: O Dawood (peace be upon him), what do you desire? Do you wish that I increase your wealth, children, and lifespan? Then Hazrat Dawood (peace be upon him), with humility and meekness, complained: O my Lord! (Do You consider me among those who love the world and desire it, that in response to my prolonged lamentation and weeping) You have given me this answer? At that very moment, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, forgave him.
