"إِنَّ نَبِىَّ اللَّه أَيُّوبَ -عليه السلامُ- لَبثَ به بلَاؤهُ ثمانَ عَشْرَةَ سنةً فرفَضَهُ القريبُ والْبَعِيدُ إِلَّا رجُلَيْن من إِخوانِهِ، كانا منْ أَخَصِّ إِخوانهِ بِهِ، كانا يَغْدُوَان إِليه ويروحانِ: فقال أَحَدُهُما لصاحبه ذات يومٍ تَعْلَمُ واللَّه أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ قد أَذنَبَ ذنبًا ما أَذنَبَهُ أَحَدٌ من العالمين فقال له صاحبه: وما ذاكَ؟ قال مُنْذُ ثمانية عَشَرَ سنةً. لم يرحْمهُ اللَّه، فيكْشِفَ ما بهِ فلمَّا راحا إِلى أَيوبَ لم يَصْبرَ الرَّجُلُ حتى ذكر (له) ذلِكَ، فقال أَيوب: ما أَدرى ما يقولان غير أَن اللَّه -تعالى- يَعْلَمُ أَنى كنتُ أمُر بالرجلين يتراغمان فَيذكران اللَّه فأرجعُ بَيْتى فَاكَفِّرُ عنهما أَن يُذْكرَ اللَّه إِلا في حق، وكانَ يَخْرُجُ لحاجِتِهِ، فإِذا قَضَى

حاجته أَمْسكت امرأَتَه بِيِدَهِ حتى يَبْلُغَ، فلما كان ذات يوم أَبْطَأَ عليها، فأُوحِى إِلَى أَيَّوبَ في مكانِهِ: اركُض بِرِجْلكَ هذا مُغْتَسَلٌ بارِدٌ وشَرَابٌ، فاسْتَبْطتْهُ فَتَلَقَّتْهُ يَنْظُرُ وأَقْبَلَ عليها قد أُذهبَ اللَّه ما به من البلاء، وهو أَحْسَنُ ما كان، فَلَمَّا رَأتْهُ قالت: أَىْ باركَ اللَّه فيكَ هل رأَيتَ نبىَّ اللَّه هذا الْمُبْتَلى؟ واللَّه عَلَى ذلِكَ ما رأيتُ أَشبَهَ به منك إِذْ كانَ صحيحًا، قال فَإنِّى أَنَا هُوَ، وكانَ له أَنَدْرَانِ : أند ر للقمَحَ وأَنْدَرٌ للشَّعيِرِ فَبعَثَ اللَّه سحابتين، فَلمَّا كانت إِحداهما على أَنْدَرِ القمْح أَفرغت فيه الذَّهَبَ حتى قَاصَه، وأَفَرغت الأُخرى في أنَدرِ الشعيرِ الْوَرِقَ حتى فَاضَ".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the Prophet Ayyub (Job), peace be upon him, endured his affliction for fifteen years, during which his close relatives and distant relatives abandoned him, except for two of his brothers who were among his closest brothers. They used to visit him in the morning and evening. One day, one of them said to the other, 'By Allah, Ayyub has committed a sin that no one among the world's inhabitants has committed.' His companion asked, 'What is that?' He replied, 'For eighteen years, Allah has not shown him any mercy, so He has removed whatever he had.' When they went to Ayyub, the man could not bear it until he mentioned it to him. Ayyub said to him, 'I do not know what you are saying, other than that Allah knows that I used to command the two men who disputed with each other to mention Allah, so return to my home and I will purify them out of dislike for mentioning Allah except in the truth.' He used to go out for his needs, and when he fulfilled his need, his wife would hold his hand until he came back. One day, he took longer than usual, so Allah revealed to Ayyub in the place where he was, 'Strike the ground with your foot: This is to wash yourself with cold water and for a drink.' His wife scooped it up, and he went to her, and Allah removed his affliction completely. He was better than ever before. When she saw him, she said, 'May Allah bless you! Did you see the Prophet of Allah, this afflicted man? By Allah, I have never seen anyone resemble him more than you, when he was healthy.' He replied, 'Indeed, I am that person.' He had two plots of land: one for wheat and the other for barley. Allah sent two clouds, one over each field. The cloud over the wheat field rained gold until it was full. The cloud over the barley field rained silver until it was full."

[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."
