Hadith 163

wollen and his-saww had hardened (swollen). And it was said to him-saww, ‘Why are you-saww doing this and Allah-azwj has Forgiven for you-asws what has preceded from your sins and what is delayed, [48: 2]? ’ He-saww said: ‘Should I-saww not be a grateful servant? ’
When Jabir looked at him-asws, and words could not avail him regarding it, said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! The survival upon yourself-asws, for you-asws are from such a family-asws, the afflictions are repelled by them-asws, the distresses are removed by them-asws, and due to them the sky (stops) withholding (the rains)’. He-asws said to him: ‘O Jabir! I-asws shall not cease to be upon the manifesto of my-asws fathers‑asws taking an example with them-asws both, I-asws meet them-asws’. Jabir faced to the ones present and said to them, ‘It has not been seen in the children of the Prophets-as the like of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws except Yusuf Bin Yaqoub-as. By Allah-azwj! The offspring of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws are superior to offspring of Yusuf-as’’. [190]

He-asws would pray two Cycles at each palm tree. And when he-asws stood in his-asws Salat, his-asws colour would change to another, and his-asws standing in the Salat would be the standing of the humble slave standing in front of the Majestic King. His-asws limbs would tremble from fear of Allah-azwj, and he-asws prayed the farewell Salat, viewing that he-asws may not be praying Salat after it, ever! ’’[193]
And it is reported that whenever he-asws stood to pray Salat, his-asws colour would change, and shuddering would afflict him-asws, and the awe of his-asws matter. Sometimes he-asws would be asked about his-asws state, by the one who did not recognise his-asws matter regarding that. He‑asws would say: ‘I-asws intend the standing in front of the Mighty King.
