[Machine] When the Prophet ﷺ used to pray, some men would prostrate due to their exertion. They were the Companions of the Suffah, to the point that the Bedouins would say, "These people are insane." When he finished his prayer, he turned to them and said, "If you only knew what you have with Allah, you would wish to increase in poverty and need." Fadalah said, "I was with the Prophet ﷺ on that day."

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى يَخِرُّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَامَتِهِمْ لِمَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ وَكَانُوا أَصْحَابَ الصُّفَّةِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ الْأَعْرَابُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ لَمَجَانِينَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَأَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنْ تَزْدَادُوا فَاقَةً وَحَاجَةً» قَالَ فَضَالَةُ «وَأَنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ»

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ خَرَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَامَتِهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِمَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْخَصَاصَةِ وَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الْأَعْرَابُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مَجَانِينُ فَإِذَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَأَحْبَبْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَزْدَادُونَ حَاجَةً وَفَاقَةً قَالَ فَضَالَةُ وَأَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ

[Machine] Abu Ali Al-Janbi told him that he heard Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd narrating that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When the Prophet ﷺ used to pray with the people, some men would bend themselves in prayer due to their need, even though they were the leaders of their tribes. The Bedouins would say: These people are insane. But when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he would say, "If you knew what you have with Allah, you would have loved to increase your poverty and need."
