Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 3261a
✧ Hamza and Shin
"أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ بلاءً الأنبياءُ، ثُمَّ الصَّالحونَ، لقدْ كانَ أحدُهُمْ يُبتلَى بالفقرِ حتَّى ما يجدُ إلَّا العباءَةَ يَجُوبُها فيلبَسُها، ويُبتْلَى بالقْمَلِ حتَّى يقتُلَهُ، وَلأَحدُهُمْ كان أشدَّ فرحًا بالبلاءِ مِنْ أحدِكُمْ بالْعَطَاءِ".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
"The people most severely tested are the prophets, then the righteous. One of them would be tested with poverty, until he would find nothing but a cloak which he would patch and wear. He would be tested with lice until they killed him. And one of them would be happier with the trial than one of you with a gift."
