Hadith 87

had come upon myself’. They both repelled the enemy from what he had intended’’. Then he said, ‘And Abu Nueym Al-Hafiz has mentioned in the second volume of the book ‘Hilyat Al-Awliya’, in a Hadeeth of Abu Rayhana that he was with Rasool-Allah-saww in a military expedition. He said, ‘One night we too shelter in a high place and severe cold hit us until I was the men digging a hole and entering into it, and covering upon it with the stones. When he-saww saw that from them, he-saww said: ‘Who will guard us during this night, and I-saww shall supplicate for him with a supplication, he will achieve merit by it’. A man stood up and said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ He-saww said: ‘Who are you? ’ He said, ‘So and so son of so and so the Helper’. He-saww said: ‘Come near me-saww’. He went near him-saww. Then he-saww grabbed a part of his clothes then began supplicating for him. Abu Rayhana said, ‘When I hear what Rasool-Allah-saww had supplicated with for the Helper, I stood up and said, ‘I am a man, so ask me like what you-saww had asked him’. He-saww said: ‘Approach’, just as he-saww had said to him, and supplicated with a supplication other than what he-saww supplicated with for the Helper, then said: ‘The Fire is forbidden upon an eye staying awake in the Way of Allah-azwj, and the Fire is forbidden upon an eye shedding tears from fearing Allah-azwj’. And he (the narrator) said, ‘The third, I have forgotten it’. Abu Shureyh said after that, ‘The Fire is forbidden upon an eye which had been closed from the Prohibitions of Allah-azwj’’. [89]
