English translation

[6835] 23 - (2688) It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ visited a Muslim man who was sick and had grown feeble like a chicken. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: "Did you pray (Allâh) for anything or ask for it?" He said: "Yes, I used to say: 'O Allâh, whatever punishment You would give me in the Hereafter, bring it forward in this world.'" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Subhân-Allâh! You cannot bear it. Why didn't you say, O Allâh, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of the Fire." Then he prayed to Allâh for him, and He healed him.

Arabic text

23 - (2688) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَسَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَادَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَدْ خَفَتَ فَصَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلْ كُنْتَ تَدْعُو بِشَيْءٍ أَوْ تَسْأَلُهُ إِيَّاهُ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، كُنْتُ أَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ، فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لَا تُطِيقُهُ - أَوْ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُهُ - أَفَلَا قُلْتَ: اللهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ " قَالَ: فَدَعَا اللهَ لَهُ، فَشَفَاهُ.
