Chapter 2 | The Exclusive Honors that Allah has Reserved for the Believers
73 - ابن أبي البلاد وعن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن العبد ليدعو، فيقول الرب عز وجل: يا جبرئيل احبسه بحاجته، فأوقفها بين السماء والأرض شوقا إلى صوته.
73. Ibn Abu al-Bilad reported that Abu 'Abd Allah said: A person sometimes supplicates and the Lord [M.G] says, 'O Gabriel, withhold his need.' So, he suspends it (the prayer) between the heavens and the earth out of the yearning of Allah to hear his voice.
