Zayd ibn Arqam said, "I had a pain in my eyes and the Prophet ﷺ visited me and said, 'Zayd, if tour eyes were to go blind because of their illness, what would you do?' He said, 'I would be steadfast and reckon my reward to be with Allah.' He said, 'If that happens to your eyes and you are steadfast and reckon your reward to be with Allah, then your reward will be the Garden.'"
سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ رَمِدَتْ عَيْنِي فَعَادَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا زَيْدُ لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَكَ لَمَّا بِهَا كَيْفَ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَصْبِرُ وَأَحْتَسِبُ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَكَ لَمَّا بِهَا ثُمَّ صَبَرْتَ وَاحْتَسَبْتَ كَانَ ثَوَابُكَ الْجَنَّةَ
