[Machine] A man from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fell ill, so his companions visited him to see how he was doing. He cried, so they asked him, "What makes you cry, O Abu Abdullah? Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ tell you to take medicine and continue taking it until you meet him?" He replied, "Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Verily, Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, took hold of a handful with His right hand and said, 'This is for this,' and I do not mind. And He took hold of another handful with His other hand and said, 'This is for this,' and I do not mind. So, I do not know which of the two handfuls I am in."

He replied, "Yes, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Indeed, Allah took me up with His right hand and then closed His hand, while saying, "This is for Me, and this is for Me," and I don't know in which of the two hands I am.'"

(رجلٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيهِ أَصْحَابُه يَعُودُونَهُ وهوَ يَبْكى فَقَالُوا لَهُ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ؟ أَلَمْ يَقُل لَكَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ خُذْ مِن شَاربِك ثُمَّ أَقِرَّهُ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِى؟ ، قَال: بَلَى، وَلكِنِّي  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يقول: وذكره، ورجاله رجال الصحيح، والراوى لَهُ عَنْ هذا الصحابى أبو نضرة"
