[Machine] I used to spend the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , attending to his ablution and his needs. He would then stand up at night and say, "Subhanallah, wa bihamdihi. Subhanallah, wa bihamdihi. Subhanallah, Rabbi wa bihamdihi." Then he would say, "Subhanallah, Rabbil-'Alamin. Subhanallah, Rabbil-'Alamin."  

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ آتِيهِ بِوَضُوئِهِ وَبِحَاجَتِهِ فَكَانَ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَبِحَمْدِهِ» ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»  

[Machine] While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you now." Then a man from the Ansar came out, his beard wet with water from his ablution, holding his shoes in his left hand. The next day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you now." The same man appeared in the same state as the previous day. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As followed him and said, "I have made a vow to my father not to visit him for three nights. If you allow me, I will stay with you until it is time for my right hand to be unleashed." He allowed him, and Anas said, "Abdullah would also spend a night or three nights with him, and I would not see him do anything during the night except that he remembered Allah and glorified Him until he would stand for the Fajr prayer and perform ablution. Abdullah said, "Except for good." When the three nights had passed, I felt belittled by his actions, so I said to him, "O Abdullah, there was no anger or migration between me and my father, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying to you three times in three gatherings, 'A man from the people of Paradise will appear before you now,' and you appeared in those gatherings. So, I wanted to come to you and see your actions, but I did not see you doing any major deeds. What has caused you to attain what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said?" He replied, "It is nothing but what you have seen." So, I turned away from him. When I was about to leave, he called me and said, "It is nothing but what you have seen, but I do not find any ill feeling towards any Muslim nor do I envy him for the good that Allah has given him." Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As said, "This is what has reached you, and it is what we cannot bear."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَطَلَعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَنْطُفُ لِحْيَتُهُ مَاءً مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ مُعَلِّقٌ نَعْلَيْهِ فِي يَدِهِ الشِّمَالِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَرْتَبَتِهِ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَطَلَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَرْتَبَتِهِ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اتَّبَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَاحَيْتُ أَبِي فَأَقْسَمْتُ أَنْ لَا أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُؤْوِيَنِي إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَحِلَّ يَمِينِي فَعَلْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ مَعَهُ لَيْلَةً أَوْ ثَلَاثَ لَيَالٍ فَلَمْ يَرَهُ يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ بِشَيْءٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا انْقَلَبَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ذَكَرَ اللهَ وَكَبَّرَ حَتَّى يَقُومَ لِصَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَيُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَسْمَعُهُ يَقُولُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا [319] فَلَمَّا مَضَتِ الثَّلَاثُ لَيَالٍ كِدْتُ أَحْتَقِرُ عَمَلَهُ قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ وَالِدِي غَضَبُ وَلَا هِجْرَةٍ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ثَلَاثِ مَجَالِسَ «يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْآنَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» فَطَلَعْتَ أَنْتَ تِلْكَ الثَّلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَرَدْتُ آوِي إِلَيْكَ فَأُنْظِرُ عَمَلَكَ فَلَمْ أَرَكَ تَعْمَلُ كَبِيرَ عَمَلٍ فَمَا الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ فَانْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّيْتُ دَعَانِي فَقَالَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَا رَأَيْتَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي غِلًّا لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَا أَحْسِدُهُ عَلَى خَيْرٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللهُ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو هَذِهِ الَّتِي بَلَغَتْ بِكَ وَهِيَ الَّتِي لَا نُطِيقُ
