باب ما جاء فى عبادة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمChapter: What has been reported concerning the worship of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
The Prophet’s feet swelled due to worship
Hadith 260
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَبِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى انْتَفَخَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَتَتَكَلَّفُ هَذَا وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ: «أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا»
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer until his blessed feet became swollen. It was said to him, “Do you endure so much hardship even though all your past and future mistakes have been forgiven for you (you are free from sins)?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: “Should I not be a grateful servant?”
