Jubair bin Nafeer says that once we were sitting with Hazrat Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man passed by and said, "How fortunate are these eyes that have seen the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). By Allah, it has always been our wish that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed." At this, he became angry. I was surprised because the man had said a good thing. Then he turned towards him and said, "What makes a person desire to be present at those occasions from which Allah kept him absent? Does he not know what his attitude would have been if he had been present at that time? By Allah, there were people during the blessed life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) whom Allah will throw face down into Hell on their chests. These were the people who neither responded to the Prophet's call nor affirmed him. You affirm the Shariah brought by the Prophet through others, and you have been saved from trials. By Allah, Allah sent His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) during the period of the cessation of revelation and ignorance, which was the hardest time compared to the time of any other Prophet's sending. In that era, people considered no religion better than idol worship. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came with the Furqan (criterion), through which he made clear the distinction between truth and falsehood, and made a distinction between a father and his children, to the extent that a man would consider his father, son, or brother to be a disbeliever, and Allah had opened the lock of his heart for faith. He knew that if he died in a state of disbelief, he would enter Hell. Therefore, when he realized that his beloved would remain in Hell, his eyes would not be cooled, and this is the very thing about which Allah Almighty has said: 'Those who say, "Our Lord! Grant us coolness of our eyes from our wives and children."'
