Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 727
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: اللَّهُمَّ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي مَالاً فَأَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ، فَابْتَلِنِي بِبَلاَءٍ يَكُونُ، أَوْ قَالَ: فِيهِ أَجْرٌ، فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ، لاَ تُطِيقُهُ، أَلاَ قُلْتَ: اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ.
Anas said: A man said in the presence of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: “O Allah, You have not given me wealth with which I might give charity, so test me with an affliction”—or he said, “in which there would be reward.” He replied: “Glory be to Allah! You could not bear it. Why did you not say: ‘O Allah, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire’?”
