“I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ when he was suffering from a fever, I placed my hand on him and felt heat with my hand from above the blanket. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how hard it is for you!’ He said: ‘We (Prophets) are like that. The trial is multiplied for us and so is the reward.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, which people are most severely tested?’ He said: ‘The Prophets.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, then who?’ He said: ‘Then the righteous, some of whom were tested with poverty until they could not find anything except a cloak to put around themselves. One of them will rejoice at calamity as one of you would rejoice at ease.’”  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُوعَكُ فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْتُ حَرَّهُ بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ فَوْقَ اللِّحَافِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَشَدَّهَا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الْبَلاَءُ وَيُضَعَّفُ لَنَا الأَجْرُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلاَءً قَالَ الأَنْبِيَاءُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَيُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ أَحَدُهُمْ إِلاَّ الْعَبَاءَةَ يُحَوِّيهَا وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ لَيَفْرَحُ بِالْبَلاَءِ كَمَا يَفْرَحُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالرَّخَاءِ  

[Machine] Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri entered upon the Messenger of Allah while he was wrapped in a Qatifa (a type of Yemeni garment made of wool) and he placed his hand on it and felt its heat above the Qatifa. Abu Sa'id said, "O Messenger of Allah, your cloak is very hot!" The Messenger of Allah said, "Indeed, we are inflicted with trials in this manner, and our reward is multiplied." Then Abu Sa'id asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who experiences the most severe trials?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "The prophets." Abu Sa'id asked again, "Then who?" He replied, "The scholars." Abu Sa'id asked once more, "Then who?" He replied, "Then the righteous." One of them would be tested with poverty to the extent that he could only find a garment to wear, and another would be tested with lice to the point of killing them. And none of them would be happier with trials than one of you would be with receiving gifts." Abu Al-Abbas narrated this to us from Bahar in the Musnad, and from Ar-Rabi' in Al-Fawaid, and I have combined both narrations.  

أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَوَجَدَ حَرَارَتَهَا فَوْقَ الْقَطِيفَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَا أَشَدَّ حَرَّ حُمَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُشَدَّدُ عَلَيْنَا الْبَلَاءُ وَيُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الْأَجْرُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ بَلَاءً؟ قَالَ «الْأَنْبِيَاءُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «الْعُلَمَاءُ» قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ» كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ إِلَّا الْعَبَاءَةَ يَلْبَسُهَا وَيُبْتَلَى بِالْقُمَّلِ حَتَّى تَقْتُلَهُ وَلَأَحَدُهُمْ كَانَ أَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِالْبَلَاءِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِالْعَطَاءِ «حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ بَحْرٍ فِي الْمُسْنَدِ وَعَنِ الرَّبِيعِ فِي الْفَوَائِدِ وَأَنَا جَمَعْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا  

[Machine] That Abu Sa’id al-Khudri entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he was wearing a cloak. He placed his hand upon it and found that it was warm on top of the cloak. Abu Sa’id said: "How severe is your fever, O Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: "Indeed, we are subjected to trails and tests in this way, and as a result our reward is multiplied." Abu Sa’id asked: "O Messenger of Allah, who are the people who are subjected to the most trials?" The Prophet ﷺ answered: "The prophets." Abu Sa’id asked again: "Then who?" The Prophet ﷺ replied: "Then the scholars." Abu Sa’id asked again: "Then who?" The Prophet ﷺ answered: "Then the righteous. One of them is afflicted with poverty until he possesses nothing but a cloak to wear, and he is afflicted with lice until he kills them. And one of them rejoices more in times of trial than one of you does in times of prosperity."  

أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ حَرَارَتَهَا فَوْقَ الْقَطِيفَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَا أَشَدَّ حَرَّ حُمَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُشَدَّدُ عَلَيْنَا الْبَلَاءُ وَيُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الْأَجْرُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ بَلَاءً؟ قَالَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْعُلَمَاءُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ إِلَّا الْعَبَاءَةَ يَلْبَسُهَا وَيُبْتَلَى بِالْقُمَّلِ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَلَأَحَدُهُمْ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِالْبَلَاءِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِالْعَطَاءِ  

"عَنْ أبِي سَعِيد أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ عَليه قَطِيفَة فَوضَع يَدَهُ عَلَيْه فَوَجَدَ حَرَارَتَها فَوْقَ القطيفَةِ وَقَالَ أبو سَعِيد مَا أَشَدّ حماك يا رسولَ الله، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُشَددُ عَلَيْنَا البَلَاءُ، ويُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الأجْرُ، فَقَالَ يَا رسُولَ الله: مَنْ أشَد النَّاسِ بَلاءً؟ قَالَ: الأنبياءُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ: الصَّالِحُونَ، لَقَد كَان أحَدُهُمْ يُبتَلَى بِالفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِد إِلَّا العَبَاءَةَ يَخويها فَيلبِسُها، ويبْتَلى بِالقَمْلِ حَتَّى يَقْتُله، وَلأحَدِهِم كَانَ أشد فَرَحًا بِالبلاءِ مِنْ أَحدِكُم بِالعَطَاءِ".
