AHMAD 1555:
from Muṣʿab b. Saʿd —
[Machine] "Saad, O Messenger of Allah, which people face the greatest tribulations?" The Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, replied, "The prophets, then those most like them, and then those most like them." He continued, "Each person will be tested according to the strength of their faith. If their faith is strong, they will be tested accordingly. And I once said, 'The most severely tested are those with the strongest faith.' And if a person's faith is weak, they will be tested according to the strength of their faith. And I once said, 'Each person will be tested according to the strength of their faith.' The trials will continue to afflict a person until they walk on Earth free from any sin." My father commented, and it was also said by Saad, "I said, O Messenger of Allah..." [The rest of the passage is missing.]

سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلاءً؟ قَالَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ حَتَّى يُبْتَلَى الْعَبْدُ عَلَى قَدْرِ دِينِهِ ذَاكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ صُلْبَ الدِّينِ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أَشَدُّ بَلاءً وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَاكَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ قَالَ فَمَا تَبْرَحُ الْبَلايَاعَنِ الْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَمْشِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي وَمَا إِنْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ قَالَ أَبِي وَقَالَ مَرَّةً عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ
