Hadith 32

Al Kafi – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww raised his-saww head towards the sky and he-saww smiled. So it was said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We saw you-saww raising your-saww head towards the sky’. So he-saww smiled and said: ‘Yes. I-saww was astounded at two Angels who had descended from the sky to the earth, seeking a righteous believing servant in a Prayer mat, which he used to pray Salaat in, in order to record his deeds for him for his day and his night. But they did not find him to be on his Prayer mat. So, they ascended to the sky and said: ‘Our Lord-azwj! Your-azwj believing servant, so and so, we sought him on his prayer-mat in order for us to record his deeds for him for his day and his night, but we did not come across him, and we found him in Your-azwj ropes (i. e. tied down by illness)’. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Write down for My-azwj servant the likes of what he would have doing during his well-being, from the goodness during his day and his night, for as long as he is in My-azwj ropes (Illness from Me-azwj), for it is upon Me-azwj that I-azwj Write for him a Recompense of what he would have done during his well-being when I-azwj Reckon from him”’.
