Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “One day when the Prophet (a.s) went to the mosque with his companions, he prostrated for so long that they suspected his health was endangered. When he finally sat up they told him that he had prostrated for such a long time that they suspected he had died. He said: “Gabriel descended to me from near God the Almighty and said: O' Muhammad! Your Lord sends His greetings and says: “I have never hurt your feelings concerning anyone of your nation who loves you. I have not done anything for a believer to please him or hurt him unless it was good for him.”“ The Prophet (a.s) added: “At that time I had no property to give away in charity, and no slave to free, so I fell prostrate in worship and thanked God and praised Him for this.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
بينما رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) مع أصحابه إذا سجد فأطال السجود حتى ظنوا أنه، ثم رفع رأسه، فقيل: يا رسول الله، فقد أطلت السجود حتى ظننا أنك مما ذاك، فقال: أتاني جبرئيل من عند الله تبارك وتعالى فقال: يا محمد، إن ربك يقرئك السلام ويقول لك: إني لن أسوءك فيمن والاك من أمتك، ولن أقضي على مؤمن قضاء ساءه أو سره ذلك إلا وهو خير له، قال (عليه السلام): فلم يكن عندي مال فأتصدق به، ولا مملوك فأعتقه، فسجدت لله وشكرته وحمدته على ذلك.
