كان الضحاك بن مزاحم إذا أمسى بكى، فقيل له: ما يبكيك؟ قال: لا أدري ما صعد اليوم من عملي!
صفة الصفوة
Dahhak bin muzahim would cry when the evening would enter, so it was asked of him; ‘What makes you cry?’ He replied, “I don’t know what actions of mine have been raised today!”
*He feared if his actions would be accepted or rejected, which is in accordance to the ayah:
إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ
Towards Him ascends the pure word, and the righteous deeds uplift it.
Surah Fatir:10
Mohammad Awan
