Would Get Indisposed With Excessive Weeping…
It is said that Hadhrat Umar (radiALLAH anhu) while leading Fajr Salaat used to recite 'Kahf', 'Taha' and other such Soorahs in his Salaat, and would weep so much that his crying could be heard way back to several rows.
Once he was reciting Surah 'Yusuf' in Fajr.
When he came to the verse:
"I only plead for my distress and anguish unto ALLAH"
[Al-Qur`aan (Surat (12) Yusuf Ayat # 86)]
He wept so much that he could not recite any further.
In Tahajjud, he would sometimes fall to the ground and would get indisposed with excessive weeping.
Such was the fear of ALLAH in Hadhrat Umar (radiALLAH anhu) whose name struck terror in the hearts of the mightiest monarchs of his time.
Even today, the people are filled with awe when they read about him.
Is there any person in power today who is prepared to show such kindness to the people in his charge?
