Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، عَنِ اللَّجْلاَجِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ‏:‏ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ‏:‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ النِّعْمَةِ، قَالَ‏:‏ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا تَمَامُ النِّعْمَةِ‏؟‏ قَالَ‏:‏ تَمَامُ النِّعْمَةِ دُخُولُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْفَوْزُ مِنَ النَّارِ‏.‏ ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ‏:‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الصَّبْرَ، قَالَ‏:‏ قَدْ سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ الْبَلاَءَ، فَسَلْهُ الْعَافِيَةَ‏.‏ وَمَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ‏:‏ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، قَالَ‏:‏ سَلْ‏.‏
