Thread: The poem that made imaam Ahmad cry
Abu Hāmid al-Khulqāni, one of the students of Imām Ahmed (rahimahullāh), asked him “O Abu Abdullāh, what is your view about these odes which mention Paradise and Hell?” He asked, “Like what for example?”

The student said, “they say:


إذا مـا قـال لـي ربــــــي ** أمـا استحييت تعصـيني ؟

وتخفي الذنب من خلقي ** وبالعـصيــان تـــأتـيــنــــي؟

When my Lord asks me:

Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?

You hide your sins from My creation,

Yet with sins come you to Me!”



Imām Ahmed said, “Read it to me again,” so he did. Then Ahmed stood up and went into his house and closed the door behind him. The student said, “I could hear him from inside the house weeping, as he recited:


When my Lord asks me:

Are you not ashamed to disobey Me?

You hide your sins from My creation,

Yet with sins come you to Me.”



(Dhayl Tabaqāt’l-Hanābilah, 1/53)

That was very beautiful mashallah , I certainly wasn't expecting to be as moved as I was
 
SubhaanAllah - this is indeed very beautiful reminder, jazak Allah khayran for sharing sister.

وَلَا يَسْأَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيمًا. يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ. وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَأَخِيهِ. وَفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْويهِ. وَمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ يُنجِيهِ. كَلَّا إِنَّهَا لَظَى

And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition), Though they shall be made to see one another. The Mujrim would desire to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day by his children. And his wife and his brother, And his kindred who sheltered him, And all that are in the earth, so that it might save him. By no means! Verily, it will be the Fire of Hell!

[Surah al-Ma'arij (70): 10-15]
