وَعَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي وَلِجَوْفِهِ أَزِيزٌ كَأَزِيزِ الْمِرْجَلِ يَعْنِي: يَبْكِي وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَفِي صَدْرِهِ أَزِيزٌ كَأَزِيزِ الرَّحَا مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ
Mutarrif ibn Abdallah ash-Shikhkhir quoted his father as saying, “I came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) when he was engaged in prayer, and heard a sound from within him like the bubbling of a pot,” meaning that he was weeping. In a version he said, “I saw the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) praying and a sound came from his breast like the rumbling of a mill, owing to weeping.” Ahmad transmitted it. Nasai transmitted the first version and Abu Dawud the second.
