ahmad:12636 – ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Sufyān > Jābir > Khaythamah > Anas

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ entered upon Zaid bin Arqam, who was experiencing eye pain. The Prophet said, "How would you be if your eyes were not in good condition?" Zaid replied, "In that case, I would be patient and hope for rewards from Allah." The Prophet said, "If your eyes were not in good condition, you would have met Allah without any sin."  

أحمد:١٢٦٣٦ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ يَعُودُهُ وَهُوَ يَشْكُو عَيْنَيْهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ لَوْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ لِمَا بِهَا؟ قَالَ إِذًا أَصْبِرُ وَأَحْتَسِبُ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ لِمَا بِهَا لَلَقِيتَ اللهَ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ

[Machine] I entered with the Prophet ﷺ to visit Zaid bin Arqam while he complained of his eye. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "O Zaid, if your sight was intact, what would you have done?" Zaid replied, "Then I would have been patient and sought reward from Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If your sight was intact and you were patient and sought reward, you would have met Allah without any sin."

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَعُودُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ وَهُوَ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا زَيْدُ لَوْ كَانَ بَصَرُكَ لِمَا بِهِ كَيْفَ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ إِذًا أَصْبِرَ وَأَحْتَسِبَ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ بَصَرُكَ لِمَا بِهِ ثُمَّ صَبَرْتَ وَاحْتَسَبْتَ لَتَلْقَيَنَّ اللهَ وَلَيْسَ لَكَ ذَنْبٌ
