قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ مَوْلَى الزُّرَقِيِّينَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ إِيَاسِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاطِمَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَقِيلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، فَقَالَ:
بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ إِذْ قَالَ: « مَنْ مِنْكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا يَسْقَمَ ؟ » فَابْتَدَرْنَاهُ، فَقُلْنَا: نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: « أَتُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مِثْلَ الْحُمُرِ الصَّيَّالَةِ »، وَتَغَيَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فِي وَجْهِهِ التَّغَيُّرَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَصْحَابَ بَلَاءٍ وَكَفَّارَاتٍ ؟ » فَقَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: « وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُبْتَلَى بِالْبَلَاءِ، وَذَلِكَ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى، وَإِنَّهُ لَيُبْتَلَى بِالْبَلَاءِ حَتَّى يَنَالَ فِيهِ مَنْزِلَةً عِنْدَ اللهِ تَعَالَى، لَا يَنَالُهَا دُونَ أَنْ يُبْتَلَى بِذَلِكَ، فَيُبْلِغُهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى تِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةَ

✧ While the Messenger of God ﷺ was sitting, he said: "Which of you would love never to fall ill?" We hurried to answer, saying: "We would, O Messenger of God." He said: "Would you love to be like braying donkeys?" The Prophet ﷺ changed color until we saw the change in his face. Then the Messenger of God ﷺ said: "Would you not love to be people of trial and expiations?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of God." He ﷺ said: "By Him in whose hand is my soul, the believer is surely tried with affliction, and that is a mark of honor for him with God Most High. He is surely tried with affliction until he attains thereby a station with God Most High that he would not attain without being tried with it, and God Most High brings him to that station."
