31. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from one of our companions who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘There was a man who used to sell oil, and he used to love the Messenger of Allah with intense love. Whenever he intended to go for his business needs, he would never do it unless he looked at the Messenger of Allah first. He became well known for that for he would stretch himself above others so that he could look at him. It so happened that one day he came over to him and stretched out to look at the Messenger (saww) of Allah until he saw him, then he went away for his business needs. It was not long before he returned. So when the Messenger of Allah saw him do that he gestured by his (hand) to beckon him to be seated. So he sat down in front of him. He said: ‘What is the matter that you have done something which you had not done before that?’ He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah (azwj), by the One Who Sent you with the Truth as a Prophet, my remembrance of you overwhelmed my heart to the extent that I did not have the ability to go about my business until I returned to you’. So he supplicated for him and wished him well. Then the Messenger of Allah waited a few days but did not see him, so he asked about him. It was said to him, ‘O Messenger of Allah, we have not seen him for days’. So the Messenger of Allah put on his shoes, and his companions did the same and walked until he came to the oil market. At the shop of the man there was no one in it. So he (saww) asked the neighbours about him. They said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, he died, and he used to be a trustworthy one among us and truthful, but he had one (peculiar) habit’. He said: ‘And what was that?’ They said, ‘He used to exhaust himself following the women’. So the Messenger of Allah (azwj) said: ‘May Allah have Mercy upon him. By Allah, he used to love me with (intense) love. Even if he had been a slave trader, Allah would Forgive him’.
