وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ هُوَ ابْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
« إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَتَكُونُ لَهُ الدَّرَجَةُ عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى، فَمَا يَبْلُغُهَا بِعَمَلٍ حَتَّى يُبْتَلَى فِي جَسَدِهِ، فَيَبْلُغُهَا بِذَلِكَ الْبَلَاءِ
