حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ ، الْمَعْنَى قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد ، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ السَّلَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةٌ ، لَمْ يَبْلُغْهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ، ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ ، أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ ، أَوْ فِي وَلَدِهِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : زَادَ ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ ، ثُمَّ صَبَّرَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا حَتَّى يُبْلِغَهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى .
Narrated Muhammad ibn Khalid as-Sulami: on his father's authority said his grandfather reported: He was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When Allah has previously decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his action, He afflicts him in his body, or his property or his children. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Nufail added in his version: "He then enables him to endure that. " The agreed version goes: "So that He may bring him to the rank previously decreed from him by Allah. "
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
In terms of expiation of sins and elevation of ranks, illnesses are a great blessing from Allah for the believer—provided that he is able to exercise patience as is due. However, one should not ask for illness.
