Hadith I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praying and making a sound like the rumbling of a mill because of weeping

عن عبد الله بن الشِّخِير رضي الله عنه قال: «رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي، وفي صَدره أَزِيزٌ كَأَزِيزِ الرَّحَى من البُكَاءِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ».

‘Abdullāh ibn Ash-Shikhkhīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praying and making a sound like the rumbling of a mill because of weeping.

Authentic hadith An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

Explanation

‘Abdullāh ibn Ash-Shikhkhīr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he saw the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praying, and he could hear a sound from him similar to that of a mill. That sound made by the mill is produced by grinding. The Companion,(may Allah be pleased with him) likened the Prophet's weeping sound to the rumbling of the mill. This is how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was with his Lord, though Allah has forgiven his previous and late sins. However, he was the most pious of people, the most conscious of Allah, and the one who feared Allah, the Exalted, the most owing to his perfect knowledge of his Lord.
