ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ مَا ابْتَلَى اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِمَا دَفَعَ عَنْهُمْ بِهِ تَعْجِيلَ الْعَذَابِ فِي الدُّنْيَا
"When Allah revealed this Ayah: 'Say: He has the power to send torment on you from above or from under your feet...' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I seek refuge in Your Face.' So when (the following) was revealed: 'Or to cover you in confusion in party strife, and make you taste the violence of one another (6:65).' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'This is less burdensome' or 'This is easier.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3065)
لَمَّا أُنْزِلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {قُلْ هُوَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابًا مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ} قَالَ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِكُمْ} قَالَ «أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ» {أَوْ يَلْبِسَكُمْ شِيَعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ} قَالَ «هَاتَانِ أَهْوَنُ أَوْ أَيْسَرُ»
