Ja'far was humbled by this reminder and asked Malik, "Abu Abdullah, when you supplicate do you face the direction of prayer or do you face the Messenger of Allah ?" Malik replied, "Why would you turn your face from him when he is your means and the means of your father Adam to Allah on the Day of Resurrection? I face the Prophet and ask him to intercede because Allah grants his intercession. Allah says, "If, when they had wrong themselves, they had come to you…" (4:64)."
Malik said of Ayyoub As-Sakhtiyani, "I do not report to you except from Ayyoub or someone better than him. I went on the Greater Pilgrimage twice and had chance to observe Ayyoub. Whenever the Messenger of Allah was mentioned, he wept and his eyes became red. When this occurred I realized the great amount of respect he had for the Prophet it was then that I started to write down narrations from him."
Mus'ab Abdullah's son said, "Whenever the Prophet was mentioned Malik became so pale that it caused distress to those in his company. One day he was asked about this and replied, 'If you had seen what I have seen, you would not be surprised by this. I would observe Muhammad, Munkadir's son, the master of Koran reciters, on most occasions when he was asked about a prophetic quotation he wept until we had sympathy for him. I observed Jaf'ar, Muhammad's son who would joke and laugh a lot, but when the Prophet was mentioned in his presence, he grew pale and I never saw him relate a saying of the Messenger of Allah without first making ablution. When I used to visit him I would find him either praying, fasting or reciting the Koran. He only spoke about necessary things which were of concern to him. He was among the scholars who were knowledgeable and worshipped Allah, the Mighty the Glorified.
The face of Abdur Rahman, Al Kasim's son turned pale, just as if the blood had drained from it, and his tongue became dry whenever the Prophet was mentioned. This was on account of the respect he felt for the Prophet . When he visited Amir, Abdullah's son whose grandfather was Az-Zubair, and the Prophet was mentioned in his presence he would weep until he had no more tears left to shed.
Az-Zuhri was one of the most easy-going and friendly people, and it was observed that whenever the Prophet was mentioned in his presence he became oblivious of all, it was as if he did not know you nor you knew him. I would visit Safwan, Sulayman's son who was among those most diligent in their worship and offered prayers throughout the night. Whenever the Prophet was mentioned he wept and continued to do so and those around him got up and left."
Whenever Katada heard a prophetic quotation he would break out in a sob and became very fearful.
