[Machine] About his father, who was one of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to them in the mosque of Bani Zufar and sat on the rock that was in the mosque. With him were Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Mu'adh ibn Jabal, and some of his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded a reciter to read, and he recited until he reached 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?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wept until his beard became wet, and he said, "Oh Lord, I bear witness against those whom I have seen, so how about those whom I have not seen?"
عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُمْ فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي ظُفُرٍ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ الَّتِي فِي مَسْجِدِ بَنِي ظُفُرٍ الْيَوْمَ وَمَعَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأُنَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَارِئًا فَقَرَأَ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى اضْطَرَبَ لَحْيَاهُ فَقَالَ «أَيْ رَبُّ شَهِدْتُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَمْ أَرَ؟»
