"سَأَلْتُ رَبَّى مَسْأَلَةً وَوَددْتُ (أَنِّى لَمْ أَكُنْ سأَلْتُهُ إِيَّاهَا؛ قُلْتُ: يا رب، إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ قَبْلِى رُسُلٌ، مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَانَ يُحْيى الْمَوْتَى، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ سَخَّرْتَ لَهُ الرِّيحَ، فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ يتيما فأويتك؟ قلت بلى يا رب. قال: ألم أجدك ضَالًا فَهَدَيْتُكَ؟ قُلتُ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ. قَالَ أَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ عَائِلًا فأَغْنَيْتُكَ؟ قلت بلى يا رب، قَالَ: أَلم أَشرح لك صَدْرَكَ؟ أَلم أَضَعْ عَنْكَ وزْرَكَ الذى أَنقض ظهرك؟ أَلم أَرفع لك ذكرك؟ قلت: بلى يَا رَبِّ. فوددت أَنى لم أَسأَله". ق في كر عن ابن عباس.
Translation
"I asked my Lord a question that I would have liked that I had not asked it of Him. I said: O my Lord, there were Prophets before me: Among them ˹were those˺ who would raise the dead, and among them ˹were those˺ for whom You had subdued the winds. Then He said: 'Did I not find you an orphan and I gave you refuge?' I said: Of course, my Lord. He said, 'Did I not find you lost and I guided you?' I said: Of course, my Lord. He said, 'Did I not find you poor and made you self-sufficient?' I said: Of course, my Lord. He said, 'Did I not expand your breast and removed from you your burden? Did I not elevate your mention?' I said: Of course, my Lord. I would have liked that I had not asked."
