The Story of a Devotee of Allah
Abu Sa‘id Moosli (رَحِمَهَا ٱللَّٰهُ) says:
“Fath b. Sa‘id (رَحِمَهَا ٱللَّٰهُ), after saying the prayer of ‘Id-ul-Adha returned quite late. On return, when he saw that the smoke of the cooking of meat ‘was coming out from inside the houses, he began to weep and said:
‘The people have, by sacrifices, gained access to Thee. O my Allah
! Alas! Would that I knew what I should sacrifice! After saying this, he fell down unconscious. I sprinkled water on him. He came to his senses after some time.
Then, he stood up and went away.” When he came in the streets of the city, he turned his face towards the sky and said:
‘‘O my Allah! Thou knowest the long period of my grief and my wandering from street to street. O my Allah! How long wilt Thou keep me imprisoned here. After saying this, he again fell in a swoon. I again sprinkled water and he felt some relief. After a few days, he breathed his last.”’
/ Prophet / رضي الله عنه / رَحِمَهَا ٱللَّٰهُ
