حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التَّمَّارُ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ الْعَيْشِيُّ ثنا سَالِمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ رَمِدَتْ عَيْنَايَ فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الرَّمَدِ فَقَالَ «يَا زَيْدُ لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ لِمَا بِهِمَا كَيْفَ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ؟» قَالَ كُنْتُ أَصْبِرُ وَأَحْتَسِبُ قَالَ «يَا زَيْدُ لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ لِمَا بِهِمَا فَصَبَرْتَ وَاحْتَسَبْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ ثَوَابٌ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ»

✧ I heard Zayd b. Arqam say: My eyes became inflamed, and the Messenger of God ﷺ visited me during the inflammation. He said, 'O Zayd, if your eyes were to suffer what is afflicting them, what would you do?' I said, 'I would be patient and seek reward.' He said, 'O Zayd, if your eyes were to suffer what is afflicting them and you were patient and sought reward, your reward would be nothing less than Paradise.'
