409. It was narrated that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'While Ayyūb, peace be upon him, was bathing naked, locusts of gold landed on him and he started to collect them in his garment. Then his Lord called him (saying): "O Ayyūb, did I not make you rich?" he said: "Yes, O Lord, but I cannot do without Your blessing."'" (Sahih)
409 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " بَيْنَمَا أَيُّوبُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا خَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَرَادٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَحْثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ. قَالَ: فَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يَا أَيُّوبُ أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى. يَا رَبِّ وَلَكِنْ لَا غِنَى بِي عَنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ "

1. The author cited this narration in this chapter because while it mentions he was naked, it also mentions him collecting the locusts and placing them in his garment; implying that he may have used that to partially cover himself of to mercy screen himself. 2. Allāh alone is free from want! One should always ask for forgiveness, whether one has done something wrong or not. And Allāh Most High always loves those who invoke Him. 3. Allāh's addressing the Prophet Ayyub was a form of Revelation - Al-Wahy.
