حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی حَتَّی انْتَفَخَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَتَکَلَّفُ هَذَا وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَکَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِکَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَقَالَ أَفَلَا أَکُونُ عَبْدًا شَکُورًا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7124
Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) worshipped so much that his feet were swollen. It was said to him: (Why do you undergo so much hardship despite the fact that) Allah has pardoned for you your earlier and later sins? Thereupon he said: May I not (prove myself) to be a grateful servant (of Allah)?
