Hadith 23938

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هَانِئٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ ، يَقُولُ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ 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 وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ : " لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، لَأَحْبَبْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَزْدَادُونَ حَاجَةً وَفَاقَةً " ، قَالَ فَضَالَةُ : وَأَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) that several times the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be leading people in prayer, and some people who were from among the "Ashab al-Suffa" would collapse while standing due to hunger, and the Bedouins would say that they had gone mad. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), after finishing the prayer, would turn towards them and say, "If you knew what blessings Allah has for you, you would wish that your poverty and hunger be increased." During those days, I was also with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
