let me worship

Ata’ reported: Ubaida ibn Umair and I entered upon Aisha and she said to Ubaida, “What keeps you from seeing us?” He said, “I say to you, O mother, as the poet said: visit once in a while and you will be loved more.” She said, “Spare us this jargon of yours.” Ubaida said, “Tell us about the most wonderful thing you saw from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.” She was silent for a while and then she said, “It was a night among my nights. He said: O Aisha, let me worship my Lord tonight. I said: By Allah, I love to be close to you and I also love your privacy. Then, he performed ablution and he stood for prayer. He did not stop weeping until his lap was wet, and then he did not stop weeping until his beard was wet, and then he did not stop weeping until the ground was wet. Bilal came to perform the call to prayer and when he saw him weeping, he said: O Messenger of Allah, why are you crying when Allah has forgiven your past and future sins? The Prophet said: Shall I not be a grateful servant? A verse has been revealed to me tonight and woe to whoever reads it without reflecting upon it.” Aisha said, “It was the verse: Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth… (3:190) and all of its verses.”

عَنْ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعُبَيْدُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ لِعُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ قَدْ آنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَزُورَنَا فقَالَ أَقُولُ يَا أُمَّهْ كَمَا قَالَ الأَوَّلُ زُرْ غِبًّا تَزْدَدْ حُبًّا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ دَعُونَا مِنْ رَطَانَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ أَخْبِرِينَا بِأَعْجَبِ شَيْءٍ رَأَيْتِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيَالِي قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ ذَرِينِي أَتَعَبَّدُ اللَّيْلَةَ لِرَبِّي قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأُحِبُّ قُرْبَكَ وَأُحِبُّ مَا سَرَّكَ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ فَتَطَهَّرَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ حِجْرَهُ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ بَكَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ بَكَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ الأَرْضَ فَجَاءَ بِلالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلاةِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَبْكِي قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ تَبْكِي وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ قَالَ أَفَلا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ آيَةٌ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ قَرَأَهَا وَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرْ فِيهَا إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ الآيَةَ كُلَّهَا
