حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَبِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ قَالا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلاقَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ صَلَّی رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم حَتَّی انْتَفَخَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَتَتَکَلَّفُ هَذَا وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَکَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِکَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ أَفَلا أَکُونُ عَبْدًا شَکُورًا

Mughirah bin Shu'bah Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports that Rasuluilah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam performed such lengthy nafl prayers, that his mubaarak legs became swollen. The Sahaabah said : "You undergo such great difficulties, where Allah had forgiven your past and the future sins."Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam said: "(When Allah Ta'aala has blessed me so much) should I not be a grateful servant?"
