Question

What is the authenticity of the following narration and is it suitable to quote?

Sa’id bin Jubayr said, “A man came to Ibn ‘Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) and said to him: ‘O Aba ‘Abbas, Allah says, ‘And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given respite’, Do the heavens and the earth weep for anybody?’ He replied, ‘Yes’, everyone has a gate in the heavens through which his provision comes down and his good deeds ascend. When the believer dies, that gate is closed; it misses him and weeps for him, and the place of prayer on earth where he used to pray and remember Allah also weeps for him. But the people of Fir’awn left no trace of righteousness on the earth and they had no good deeds that ascended to Allah, so the heavens and the earth did not weep for them.'” Read More »

On one occasion, some of the Fuqaha (Jurists) of Egypt entered the presence of Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah) at the time of sehri.

Imam Shafi’i (rahimahullah) addressed them saying, “Your engagement in Fiqh has occupied you from reciting the Quran, whereas I dedicate special time to recite the Qur’an every night. After performing the ‘Isha Salah, I place the Quran before me and commence its recitation. I only complete my recitation at the time of dawn.”
