حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اللَّهُمَّ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي مَالاً فَأَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فَابْتَلِنِي بِبَلاَءٍ يَكُونُ أَوْ قَالَ فِيهِ أَجْرٌ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لاَ تُطِيقُهُ أَلاَ قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

  1. Anas (ra) said that a man made this supplication in the presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) "O Allah, you have not bestowed upon me wealth so I cannot give Sadaqah, hence involve me in anxiety so that I may earn reward against that. The prophet said," Subhan Allah! You cannot endure difficulty. Why did you not make this supplication?:

✧ A man said in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, "O Allah, You have not given me wealth so that I may give charity from it, so afflict me with a trial that will be, or he said, in which there is reward." He said, "Glory be to Allah! You are not able to bear it. Why did you not say: O Allah, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire?"
