[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the Fajr prayer, so much so that the sun almost caught up with us. Then he came out and led us in prayer, reducing its length. Afterwards, he turned to us and said: "Do you know what caused me to delay the prayer today? I prayed during this night as Allah willed, but then my eyes closed and I fell asleep. I saw my Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, who inspired me to say: 'O Allah, I ask You for all that is good, for abandoning evil deeds, for loving the poor, for granting me repentance and forgiveness, for having mercy on me, and when You decree a trial upon Your creation, save me from it without being affected. O Allah, I ask You for Your love, for the love of those who love You, and for the love of deeds that will draw me closer to Your love.'" Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to us and said: "Teach them and instruct them, for they deserve it."

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ delayed the Fajr prayer for us until the sun almost rose, so he went out and led us in prayer. He shortened his prayer and then turned to us with his face and said, "Shall I inform you of what delayed me from you today in this prayer? I prayed in my night so Allah willed, then my eyes closed, and I saw my Lord in the most beautiful and perfect form. He said, 'O Muhammad,' so I said, 'Here I am, O my Lord.' He said, 'What do the highest assembly dispute about?' I said, 'I do not know, O my Lord.' Then He said, 'O Muhammad,' so I said, 'Here I am, O my Lord.' He said, 'What do the highest assembly dispute about?' I said, 'I do not know.' Then He placed His hand between my shoulders until I felt the coolness of His fingertips between my chest, and I knew everything and saw it clearly. Then He said, 'O Muhammad,' so I said, 'Here I am, O my Lord.' He said, 'What do the highest assembly dispute about?' I said, 'In acts of expiation.' He asked, 'And what are they?' I said, 'Walking to Friday prayers, performing ablution in unfavorable conditions, and ascending stairs.' He asked, 'And what is it?' I said, 'Feeding the hungry, speaking gently, praying at night while people are asleep.' He said, 'Ask.' I said, 'O Allah, I ask You for good deeds, abandoning evil deeds, loving the poor, and for You to forgive me and have mercy on me. And when You intend a trial among Your creation, deliver me to You untempted. And I ask for Your love and the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds that will bring me closer to Your love.'
