It is variously explained as meaning one much given to sighing through fear of Allah, one much given to supplication from love of Allah, one much given to weeping from fefir, or one much given to prayer asking for Allah’s mercy. Cf. Mirqat, ii, 376) and to the recitation of the Qur’an.” Tirmidhi transmitted it, but in Sharh as- sunna its isnad is said to be weak.
