ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى مَنِ امْتُحِنَ بِمِحْنَةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَيَلْقَاهَا بِالصَّبِرِ وَالشُّكْرِ يُرْجَى لَهُ زَوَالُهَا عَنْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعَ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لَهُ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ فِي الْعُقْبَى
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Prophet Ayyub (Job) ﷺ endured his tribulation for eighteen years, during which he was rejected by both his close and distant relatives, except for two men from his brothers. They were his closest brothers, who used to visit him in the morning and evening. One of them said to his companion, 'You know, by Allah, Ayyub committed a sin that no one from among the worlds has ever committed.' His companion asked, 'What is that?' He replied, 'For eighteen years, Allah did not show him mercy to relieve what he was going through.' When they went to him, the man could not patiently wait until he mentioned it to him. Ayyub said, 'I do not know what you are saying, except that Allah knows that I was commanded to visit those two men who used to argue and remember Allah. So I have returned to my house to seek forgiveness for them, disliking that Allah is mentioned unjustly.' He used to go out to fulfill his needs, and when he had done so, his wife would hold his hand. But one day, he was slower than usual. Allah revealed to Ayyub, while he was in his place, 'Strike the ground with your foot. This is a cool wash and a drink.' So he struck the ground, and his wife reached him with the wash and drink. Allah relieved him of all the affliction, and he became better than ever before. When she saw him, she said, 'May Allah bless you. Have you seen the Prophet of Allah, this severely afflicted person? By Allah, I have never seen anyone who resembled him more than you, especially when he was healthy.' He said, 'Indeed, I am he.' He was the rarest type among people in terms of the bounty of wheat and barley. Allah sent two clouds, one of which poured gold into the wheat until it overflowed, and the other poured silver onto the barley until it overflowed."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ « إِنَّ أَيُّوبَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَبِثَ فِي بَلَائِهِ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَرَفَضَهُ الْقَرِيبُ وَالْبَعِيدُ إِلَّا رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ كَانَا مِنْ أَخَصِّ إِخْوَانِهِ كَانَا يَغْدُوَانِ إِلَيْهِ وَيَرُوحَانِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ تَعْلَمُ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَذْنَبَ أَيُّوبُ ذَنْبًا مَا أَذْنَبَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ لَهُ صَاحِبُهُ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ مُنْذُ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً لَمْ يَرْحَمْهُ اللَّهُ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا بِهِ فَلَمَّا رَاحَ إِلَيْهِ لَمْ يَصْبِرِ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ لَا أَدْرِي مَا تَقُولُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَمُرُّ عَلَى الرَّجُلَيْنِ يَتَنَازَعَانِ فَيَذْكُرَانِ اللَّهَ فَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى بَيْتِي فَأُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُمَا كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يُذْكَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا فِي حَقٍّ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى حَاجَتِهِ فَإِذَا قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ أَمْسَكَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ بِيَدِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى أَيُّوبَ فِي مَكَانِهِ {ارْكُضْ بِرِجْلِكَ هَذَا مُغْتَسَلٌ بَارِدٌ وَشَرَابٌ} فَاسْتَبْطَأَتْهُ فَبَلَغَتْهُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا قَدْ أَذْهِبِ اللَّهُ مَا بِهِ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ فَهُوَ أَحْسَنُ مَا كَانَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ أَيْ بَارِكَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ هَذَا الْمُبْتَلَى وَاللَّهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا كَانَ أَشْبَهَ بِهِ مِنْكَ إِذْ كَانَ صَحِيحًا قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَنَا هُوَ وَكَانَ لَهُ أَنْدَرَانِ أَنْدَرُ الْقَمْحِ وَأَنْدَرُ الشَّعِيرِ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ سَحَابَتَيْنِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى أَنْدَرِ الْقَمْحِ أَفْرَغَتْ فِيهِ الذَّهَبَ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ وَأَفْرَغَتِ الْأُخْرَى عَلَى أَنْدَرِ الشَّعِيرِ الْوَرِقَ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ»
