Is there any Hadith which mentions that Nabi’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) chest once made a sound of boiling kettle due to him weeping in Salah?
Answer:
Yes. Mutarrif ibn ‘Abdillah ibn Shikkhir (rahimahullah) reports from his father, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Shikkhir (radiyallahu ‘anhu) who says, “I saw Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) offering Salah and there was a boiling sound coming from his chest like the boiling of a kettle due to [excessive] weeping.”
(Sunan Nasai; Al Mujtaba, Hadith: 1214, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, Hadith: 900, Sahih Ibn Hibban; Al Ihsan, Hadith: 665 and 753, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 4 pg. 25. Also see: Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 900 and Fathul Bari, Hadith: 716)
Imams Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban (rahimahumallah) have declared the Hadith authentic.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
