حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبْدِي بِحَبِيبَتَيْهِ فَصَبَرَ عَوَّضْتُهُ مِنْهُمَا الْجَنَّةَ ‏" ‏‏.‏ يُرِيدُ عَيْنَيْهِ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ أَشْعَثُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ وَأَبُو ظِلاَلٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us; he said: Ibn al-Hād narrated to me, from ʿAmr, the freedman of al-Muṭṭalib, from Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, “Allah says: ‘When I test My servant by taking his two beloved ones, and he is patient, I will compensate him for them with Paradise.’” He meant his eyes.

Ashʿath ibn Jābir and Abū Ẓilāl also transmitted it from Anas, from the Prophet ﷺ.
