[Machine] About the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding a conversation about desires? He said, "Yes, we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey called 'Asim' when a man from the outskirts of the tribe called him with a loud voice and a strong accent, saying, 'O Muhammad, O Muhammad!' The people said to him, 'Stop, you have been prohibited from doing this.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ answered him in a similar voice, saying, 'Ha'um, Ha'um.' The man asked, 'He loves the people, but why do they not keep up with him?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A person is with those whom he loves.' He continued narrating to us until he informed us that Allah has made a door for repentance in the west, the width of which takes seventy years to pass through. It does not close until the sun rises from its place. And that is the saying of Allah (SWT), 'The day when some of the signs of your Lord will come, no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it has not believed before or earned in its faith any good.' [Surah Al-Anaam 158]  

الكبرى للنسائي:١١١١٤أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ بْنِ مُسَاوِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيَّ قُلْتُ هَلْ حَفِظْتَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْهَوَى حَدِيثًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ قَدْ سَمَّاهُ عَاصِمٌ إِذْ نَادَاهُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ الْقَوْمِ بِصَوْتٍ لَهُ جَهْوَرِيٍّ جِلْفٌ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ مَهْ إِنَّكَ نُهِيتَ عَنْ هَذَا فَأَجَابَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى نَحْوٍ مِنْ صَوْتِهِ «هَاؤُمُ هَاؤُمُ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ وَلَمَّا يَلْحَقْ بِهِمْ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ» فَمَا بَرِحَ يُحَدِّثُنَا حَتَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَنَّ اللهَ جَعَلَ بِالْمَغْرِبِ بَابًا مَسِيرَةُ عَرْضِهِ سَبْعُونَ عَامًا لِلتَّوْبَةِ لَا يُغْلَقُ مَا لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللهِ ﷻ {يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا} [الأنعام 158]

“I came to Safwan bin ʿAssal Al-Muradi so he said to me: ‘What has brought you, O Zirr?’ So I said: ‘The desire for knowledge.’ So he said: ‘It has been conveyed to me that the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, out of pleasure with what he is doing.’” He said: “So I said to him: ‘Indeed there is something wavering’ - or - ‘some doubt in my chest concerning wiping over the Khuff after defecation. So have you retained anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning that?’ He said: ‘Yes, when we were travelers, he ﷺ used to order us not to remove our Khuff for three days and nights, except from sexual impurity, but not from defecation, urination, and sleep.’” He said: “So I said: ‘So have you memorized anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning love?’ He said: ‘Yes, we were in one of our journeys with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man, a harsh, foolish Bedouin, who had been at the end of the group, called him with a loud voice, saying: “O Muhammad! O Muhammad!” So the people said to him “Mah! Indeed, you have been prohibited from this.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ responded to him with similar to his voice: “Come.” So he said: “A man loves a people but he has not reached them?” He said: ‘So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “A man is with whomever he loves.”’ Zirr said: “He did not cease reporting to me until he had reported that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has appointed a gate in the west - its width is the distance of a seventy-year journey - for repentance: it shall not be locked until the sun rises from its direction, and that is the Statement of Allah, Blessed be He and Most High, of the Ayah: The Day some of the signs of your Lord come, no soul shall be benefited by its believing.”
