عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ، مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي(1) قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ. يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ: اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمَكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ؟ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي. يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ: اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟ قَالَ اسْتَسْقَاكَ عَبْدِي فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ، أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي" رواه مسلم

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said that Allah, Might and Majesty belong to Him, will say on the Day of Resurrection:
‘O son of Adam, I was ill, but you did not visit Me.’ He will say, ‘Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of all worlds?’ He will say, ‘Did you not know that My servant so-and-so was ill, but you did not visit him? Had you visited him, you would have found Me with him. O son of Adam, I asked you for food, but you did not feed Me.’ He will say, ‘Lord, how could I feed You when You are the Lord of all worlds?’ He will say, ‘Did you not know that My servant so-and-so asked you for food, but you did not feed him? Had you fed him, you would have found that with Me. O son of Adam, I asked you for a drink, but you did not give Me a drink.’ He will say, ‘Lord, how could I give You a drink when You are the Lord of all worlds?’ He will say, ‘My servant so-and-so asked you for a drink, but you did not give him one. Had you given him a drink, you would have found that with Me.’’

مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي(1) قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ؟
The Arabic has an orphan footnote marker (1) attached to this passage, but no corresponding note in the source block. The English witness has no footnote text for it either.
Can the missing note be recovered from the source edition, or is this an unmatched marker in the capture?
