777 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثني زِيَادُ بْنُ عِلَاقَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّي تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا»
Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand (i.e., perform many voluntary prayers) so much that his feet would become swollen. It was said to him: O Messenger of Allah! Has Allah not forgiven your past and future sins? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Should I not be a grateful servant?”
