حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْکٍ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يُوعَکُ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُ حَرَّهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَوْقَ اللِّحَافِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَشَدَّهَا عَلَيْکَ قَالَ إِنَّا کَذَلِکَ يُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الْبَلَائُ وَيُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الْأَجْرُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَائً قَالَ الْأَنْبِيَائُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ إِنْ کَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَيُبْتَلَی بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّی مَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُهُمْ إِلَّا الْعَبَائَةَ يُحَوِّيهَا وَإِنْ کَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَيَفْرَحُ بِالْبَلَائِ کَمَا يَفْرَحُ أَحَدُکُمْ بِالرَّخَائِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4024
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: I entered upon the Prophet P.B.U.H when he was suffering from a fever, and I placed my hand on him and felt heat with my hand from above the blanket. I said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, how hard it is for you!’ He said: ‘We (Prophets) are like that. The thai is multiplied for us and so is the reward.’ I said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, which people are most severely tested?’ He said: ‘The Prophets.’ I said: ‘0 Messenger of Allah, then who?’ He said: ‘Then the righteous, some of whom were tested with poverty until they could not find anything except a cloak to put around themselves. One of them will rejoice at calamity as one of you would rejoice at ease.” (Hasan)
