Sayyiduna Bishr Hafi Rehmatullahi Alaih has stated that he saw a person in Arafat who was reciting some couplets crying with extreme humility and sadness. The translation of the couplets is as follows:
1. O the One who is free of all shortcomings. If we make our eyes perform Sajdah on thorns and hot needles, even then, we will never be able to repay any of Your favours.
2. O the One who is faultless! I committed a lot of mistakes; I remained heedless of You while committing these mistakes and misdeeds; yet, O Lord, You have remembered me.
3. I left no stone unturned to expose my faults committing innumerable sins in ignorance, but You always blessed me with Your kindness hiding my faults.
Sayyiduna Bishr Hafi Rehmatullahi Alaih has stated that the person then disappeared from his sight. When he Rehmatullahi Alaih asked the people as to who the pious person was, they replied that he was Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah Khawas Rehmatullahi Alaih One of his pious attributes was that he Rehmatullahi Alaih had not looked at the sky for the past seventy years out of fear from Allah Subhan wa Ta’ala (Raud-ur-Riyahin)
