tearfully for the Ummah and humbly said: اَللّٰھُمَّ اُمَّتِیْ اُمَّتِیْ. O Allah Almighty! My Ummah! My Ummah! Allah Almighty ordered Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام to go to His Beloved صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ . Your Lord knows very well but ask him: What is the reason for his weeping? Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام came to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  and asked as commanded.

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  explained the entire situation and expressed his concern for the Ummah. Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said to Allah Almighty: “O Allah Almighty! Your Beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  has stated such-and-such thing and Allah Almighty is All-Knowing.” Allah Almighty ordered Sayyidunā Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام: “Go and tell My Beloved (صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ ) that We will soon please you regarding your Ummah and will not allow you to feel sad.” (Muslim, pp. 109, Hadees 499)

The Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has stated:

Dear brothers! You are busy disobeying the one who truly loves you, who is magnificent, who is the essence of faith and treasure of goodness, who possesses the matchless beauty which has adorned the entire world, who has shouldered the responsibility of the entire universe, who forgot the meal of the day and the sleep of the night. You are busy with sports and frolics and he was busy day and night weeping and expressing sadness for your forgiveness. Though Allah Almighty has made night for rest, and every person - whether a king or a poor person - wants to take rest at that time, but your Beloved and Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ  did not rest and sleep, but rather put his blessed forehead in the court of Allah Almighty saying: “O Allah Almighty! My Ummah is sinful; forgive them and protect all of their bodies from the fire of Hell.” (Fatawa Ridawiyyah, vol. 30, pp. 716-717 selected)
