It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed so long one morning before the Fajr prayer that it was almost as if the edge of the sun would appear. In any case, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came quickly, the iqamah was called for prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) led a brief prayer, and when he finished with salam, he said: Remain seated in your rows as you are. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said: Indeed, I will tell you what kept me from you this morning. I stood in prayer during the night and prayed as much as was destined for me. While I was in prayer, drowsiness overcame me. Then when I awoke, I saw that I was before my Lord, the Exalted, and Allah, the Exalted, was in a very beautiful form. Allah, the Exalted, said: O Muhammad! In what do the angels who are near (to Me) dispute? I said: O my Lord! I do not know. Allah, the Exalted, again said: In what do the angels who are near dispute? I said: O my Lord! I do not know. Then Allah, the Exalted, placed His palm between my shoulders, and I felt the coolness of His fingertips in my chest, and everything became clear to me and I attained knowledge. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: O Muhammad! (Now tell Me) in what do the angels who are near dispute? I said: In the expiations. He said: What are the expiations? I said: Walking to the congregational prayers, sitting in the mosque after the prayer, and performing complete ablution despite disliked matters. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: What are the degrees? I said: Feeding (others), speaking gently, and praying at night when people are asleep. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: Ask (of Me). I said: O Allah! I ask You for doing good deeds, abandoning evil deeds, loving the poor, that You forgive me and have mercy on me, and when You intend to send a trial upon a people, then take me (from this world) without being afflicted by that trial, and I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of the deed which brings me closer to Your love. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the truth, so learn it and teach it.
