Hadith 29

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Sindy Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al Salt, from Abu Hamza, ‘From Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws prayed Salāt Al-Fajr, then he-asws did not cease to be in his-asws place until the (shadow of the) sun came to be to the length of a spear, and he-asws turned by his-asws face towards the people and he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws had come across a group of people who were staying awake at night for their Lord-azwj, prostrating and standing, interchanging between their foreheads and their knees, as if like the exhalation of the Fire (of Hell could be heard) in their ears. Whenever Allah-azwj was Mentioned in their presence, swaying like the swaying of the trees. It is as if the group of people has spent the nights oblivious (of the world)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws arose, and he-asws was not seen laughing until he-asws passed away’’. [47]
