وَقَالَ الْبَزَّارُ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ، قَالُوا: ثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، ثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عُقَيْلِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
« إِنَّ أَيُّوبَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ فِي بَلَائِهِ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَرَفَضَهُ الْقَرِيبُ وَالْبَعِيدُ، إِلَّا رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ، زَادَ الْبَزَّارُ: كَانَا مِنْ أَخَصِّ إِخْوَانِهِ، كَانَا يَغْدُوَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَيَرُوحَانِ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ: تَعْلَمُ، وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَذْنَبَ أَيُّوبُ ذَنْبًا مَا أَذْنَبَهُ أَحَدٌ. قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالَ: مُنْذُ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً لَمْ يَرْحَمْهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى. فَكَشَفَ عَنْهُ مَا بِهِ، فَلَمَّا رَاحَا إِلَيْهِ لَمْ يَصْبِرِ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: لَا أَدْرِي مَا تَقُولُ، غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَمُرُّ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ يَتَنَازَعَانِ، فَيَذْكُرَانِ اللهَ تَعَالَى فَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُمَا كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَّا فِي حَقٍّ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى حَاجَتِهِ، فَإِذَا قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ أَمْسَكَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهَا، وَأَوْحَى إِلَى أَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي مَكَانِهِ ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ هَذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ فَاسْتَبْطَأَتْهُ، فَتَلَفَّتَتْ تَنْظُرُ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَقَدْ أَذْهَبَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَا بِهِ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَهُوَ عَلَى أَحْسَنِ مَا كَانَ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ: أَيْ بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ، هَلْ رَأَيْتَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ هَذَا الْمُبْتَلَى، وَاللهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَشْبَهَ بِهِ مِنْكَ مُذْ كَانَ صَحِيحًا. قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: فَإِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ، وَكَانَ لَهُ أَنْدَرَانِ: أَنْدَرُ الْقَمْحِ، وَأَنْدَرُ الشَّعِيرِ، فَبَعَثَ اللهُ تَعَالَى سَحَابَتَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى أَنْدَرِ الْقَمْحِ أَفْرَغَتْ فِيهِ الذَّهَبَ حَتَّى فَاضَ، وَأَفْرَغَتِ الْأُخْرَى عَلَى أَنْدَرِ الشَّعِيرِ الْوَرِقَ حَتَّى فَاضَ

✧ Ayyub, the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, remained in his affliction for eighteen years. Kinsman and stranger shunned him, except for two men from his brothers. Al-Bazzar added: They were among his closest brothers; they would come to him in the morning and evening. One of them said to his companion: 'Do you know, by Allah, Ayyub has committed a sin that no one has ever committed?' His companion said: 'What is that?' He said: 'For eighteen years Allah, Exalted is He, has not had mercy on him.' He disclosed what was in himself. When they went to him, the man could not restrain himself until he mentioned that to him. Ayyub ﷺ said: 'I do not know what you are saying, except that Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, knows that I would pass by two men disputing and they would mention Allah, Exalted is He, and I would return to my house and make expiation for them, out of dislike that Allah, Exalted is He, be mentioned except in truth.' He said: He ﷺ would go out for his need, and when he finished, his wife would take hold of his hand until he returned. One day he was late in coming to her, and it was revealed to Ayyub ﷺ in his place: 'Strike with your foot; this is a cool bathing place and a drink.' She found him slow, so she turned to look, and he came toward her, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, had removed his affliction, and he was in the best of conditions. When she saw him, she said: 'May Allah bless you! Have you seen the Prophet of Allah, this afflicted one? By Allah, I have not seen anyone more like him than you since he was healthy.' He ﷺ said: 'Indeed I am he.' He had two threshing floors: a threshing floor for wheat and a threshing floor for barley. Allah, Exalted is He, sent two clouds. When one of them was over the wheat threshing floor, it poured gold into it until it overflowed, and the other poured silver over the barley threshing floor until it overflowed.
