حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الأَزْدِيُّ وَشَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ جَمِيعًا؛ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِشَيْبَانَ؛ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ؛ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ؛ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى؛ عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

«عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ، إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ، وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ: إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ».
