وَعَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنِّي أَرَى مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ وَأَسْمَعُ مَا لَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَطَّتِ السَّمَاءُ وَحُقَّ لَهَا أَنْ تَئِطَّ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا فِيهَا مَوْضِعُ أَرْبَعَةِ أَصَابِعَ إِلَّا وملَكٌ وَاضع جبهتَه ساجدٌ لِلَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَمَا تَلَذَّذْتُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ عَلَى الْفُرُشَاتِ وَلَخَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ تَجْأَرُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ» . قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ شَجَرَةً تعضد. رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Abu Dharr Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I do see that which you do not see and I do hear that which you do not hear. (They are the portents of the Last Day and Allah's Majesty.) The heaven laments and it has a right to lament. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, there is not in it so much as the space of four fingers without an angel who has put his forehead in it to prostrate before Allah.By Allah, were you to know what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and would not enjoy women in beds, but would go out to the plains calling Allah for help." Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه cried out, "How I wish I were a tree chopped into pieces!" [1]
