ahmad-zuhd:226ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Yazīd > Jarīr b. Ḥāzim > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUbayd b. ʿUmayr

[Machine] "O Allah, if you know that I did not sleep a full night while being hungry, and I know the place of a person who is hungry, so verify me." He said, "So he verified it and they both heard it." Then he said, "O Allah, if you know that I have never worn a shirt, and I know the place of a person who is naked, so verify me." He said, "So he verified it and they both heard it." Then he prostrated and said, "O Allah, I will not raise my head until You reveal what is in me." So Allah revealed what was inside him and said, "Once again, if Job (Ayoub) had any goodness before Allah, it would have surpassed all this."  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا أبِي حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخَوَانِ فَأَتَيَاهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَوَجَدَا رِيحًا فَقَالَا لَوْ كَانَ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلِمَ مِنْ أَيُّوبَ خَيْرًا مَا بَلَغَ بِهِ كُلَّ هَذَا قَالَ فَمَا سَمِعَ شَيْئًا كَانَ أَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَبِتْ لَيْلَةً شَبْعَانَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ مَكَانَ جَائِعٍ فَصَدِّقْنِي قَالَ فَصُدِّقَ وَهُمَا يَسْمَعَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَلْبَسْ قَمِيصًا قَطُّ وَأَنَا [38] أَعْلَمُ مَكَانَ عَارٍ فَصَدِّقْنِي قَالَ فَصُدِّقَ وَهُمَا يَسْمَعَانِ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَا أَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي حَتَّى يُكْشَفَ مَا بِي؛ فَكَشَفَ اللَّهُ ﷻ مَا بِهِ وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى «لَوْ كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ خَيْرٌ مَا بَلَغَ بِهِ كُلَّ هَذَا»
