Hoor al-'Ayn: Do You Know What Day We Got Married On?

Follow @AhleDhikr Ibn Rajab states in Lataa’if al-Ma’aarif (Pg. 552) that Hasan al-Basree [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said, “The Hoor al-Ayn will say to the Friend of Allaah, as he enjoys a luxurious life, whilst he is laying with her besides his river of wine in Jannah when handing him a glass of it, “Do you know what day we got married on? It is the day when Allaah Looked at you whilst you were fasting in the heat of the summer, far apart from both ends of your fast (i.e. dusk and dawn). You were extremely thirsty and your body was very dry. So He Called upon the Angels and Said, “Look at My Slave! He left his wife (i.e. martial relations), his desires, his food and drink, all because of Me - seeking the bounties that I Possess. Bear witness that I have Forgiven him!" So that was the day you were forgiven and the day we got married.””
