English translation
3487. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Prophet ﷺ visited a man who was so emaciated that he had become like a baby bird. He said to him: "And did you not used to supplicate? Did you not used to ask Your Lord for sound health?" He said: "I used to say, "O Allāh, whatever You are going to punish me with in the Hereafter, then hasten it for me in this world." So the Prophet ﷺ said: "Glory is to Allāh, you are not capable of that" – or – "you are not able to stand that. Would you not say: 'O Allāh, give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and spare us the punishment of the Fire (Allāhumma Atinā Fīd-Dunyā Ḥasanatan Wa Fīl-Akhirati Ḥasanatin Wa Qinā 'Adhāban-Nār).'" (Sahīh) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣahīh Gharīb from this route, and it has been reported through more than one route from Anas from the Prophet ﷺ.
