ahmad:20279Ismāʿīl > Yūnus > Abū al-ʿAlāʾ b. al-Shikhhīr

[Machine] Narrated by one of the sons of Sulaiman, whom I consider to have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that Allah tests His servant with what He has given him. So whoever is content with what Allah has allotted for him, Allah blesses him in it and expands it for him. And whoever is not content, Allah does not bless him in it.  

أحمد:٢٠٢٧٩حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ بْنُ الشِّخِّيرِ

حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ وَلَا أَحْسَبُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ اللهَ يَبْتَلِي عَبْدَهُ بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللهُ لَهُ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَهُ فِيهِ وَوَسَّعَهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ لَمْ يُبَارِكْ لَهُ

"إِنَّ الله تَعَالى يَبْتَلِى الْعَبْدَ فيما أعْطَاهُ، فَمَنْ رَضِيَ بِما قَسَمَ الله لَهُ بَارَكَ الله لَهُ فِيهِ، ووسَّعَهُ، وَمَنْ لم يَرْض لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ، ولم يَزِدْ عَلَى مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ".
