Hadith 1183
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَعَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ : ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاقَةَ ، سَمِعَ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ ، يَقُولُ : صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى تَوَرَّمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ ، قَالَ : " أَفَلا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا "
Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed (so many voluntary) prayers that his blessed feet became swollen. It was said to him that indeed Allah Almighty has forgiven your past and future sins (then why do you undergo so much hardship?). He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Should I not be a grateful servant (to my Lord)?”
