بَابُ مَنْ كَرِهَ الدُّعَاءَ بِالْبَلاءِChapter: Disliking Supplication for Calamity
Hadith 727
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اللَّهُمَّ لَمْ تُعْطِنِي مَالا فَأَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ ، فَابْتَلِنِي بِبَلاءٍ يَكُونُ ، أَوْ قَالَ : فِيهِ أَجْرٌ ، فَقَالَ : ”سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، لا تُطِيقُهُ ، أَلا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ، وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً ، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man supplicated in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Allah! You have not given me wealth with which I can give charity, so put me in some calamity in which there is reward for me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Subhan Allah! You do not have the strength to bear calamity. Why did you not supplicate like this: O Allah, grant us goodness in this world, and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire."
