بَاب لَا يَقُولُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَشِئْتَ وَهَلْ يَقُولُ أَنَا بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ بِكَ وَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ ثَلَاثَةً فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْتَلِيَهُمْ فَبَعَثَ مَلَكًا فَأَتَى الْأَبْرَصَ فَقَالَ تَقَطَّعَتْ بِيَ الْحِبَالُ فَلَا بَلَاغَ لِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ بِكَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6653
Narrated Abu Hurairah that he heard the Prophet (saws) saying, "Allah decided to test three people from Bani Isra'il. So, He sent an angel who came first to the leper and said, '(I am a traveller) who has run short of all means of living, and I have nobody to help me except Allah, and then with your help.'" Abu Hurairah then mentioned the complete narration.
