Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَمَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا خَرَّ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلُ جَرَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَحْثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ، فَنَادَى رَبُّهُ يَا أَيُّوبُ، أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى لِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Juʿfi narrated to me: ʿAbd al-Razzaq narrated to us: Maʿmar informed us, from Hammam, from Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ‘While Ayyub was bathing naked, a swarm of golden locusts fell upon him. He began gathering them into his garment. His Lord called to him, “Ayyub, did I not make you wealthy enough to be without what you see?” He replied, “Yes, my Lord, but I can never do without Your blessing.”’

Translation notes
  • Rendered رِجل جراد as a swarm/group of locusts and kept the reference to Allah’s blessing.
