٢٣١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْفَلَّاسُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary
It was due to the nature of the task entrusted to the Messengers that Allāh saw it fit that the reality of things be made manifest to them, so that their first hand observations might give them an absolutely certain knowledge and assured sight of the things needed for the implementation of the sublime duty entrusted to them. Not only this, Allāh in His absolute wisdom, invested the Prophet's mind and heart with an extraordinary strength, so that he could perform the duties assigned to him with extreme poise and composure, that could serve as a living example for all categories of people until the Last Day.
