Riyad as-Salihin #1731
The Book of Miscellany
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وعن فضالة بن عبيد رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا صلى بالناس، يخر رجال من قامتهم في الصلاة من الخصاصة -وهم أصحاب الصفة- حتى يقول الأعراب: هؤلاء مجانين، فإذا صلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انصرف إليهم، فقال: "لو تعلمون ما لكم عند الله تعالى، لأحببتم أن تزدادوا فاقة وحاجة" ((رواه الترمذي، وقال: حديث صحيح)).
"الخصاصة": الفاقة والجوع الشديد.
Fadalah bin 'Ubaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led Salat, some people would fall down from their standing posture out of extreme hunger. They were of the people of As-Suffah. The nomad Arabs would say that they were insane. After concluding Salat, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would turn to them and say, "If you were to know what is in store for you with Allah, the Exalted, you would wish to augment your starvation and lack of provisions.".
