[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to weep when reciting this verse: 'So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad], against these [people] as a witness?' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Lord, I have testified against those who are present, so how about those whom I have not seen?'"  

الطبراني:١٦٦٠٣حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ بُهْلُولٍ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ لَبِيبَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} بَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «يَا رَبُّ هَذَا شَهِدْتُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَمْ أَرَ؟»
