عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَلْقَى رَجُلًا فَيَقُولُ : " يَا فُلَانُ ، كَيْفَ أَنْتَ ؟ " . فَيَقُولُ : بِخَيْرٍ ، أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ . فَيَقُولُ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " جَعَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ " . فَلَقِيَ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا فُلَانُ ؟ " . قَالَ : بِخَيْرٍ إِنْ شَكَرْتُ . فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي فَتَقُولُ : " جَعَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ " . وَإِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ سَكَتَّ عَنِّي ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ : " إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ فَتَقُولُ : بِخَيْرٍ أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ . فَأَقُولُ : جَعَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ ، وَإِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ قُلْتَ : بِخَيْرٍ إِنْ شَكَرْتُ ، فَشَكَكْتَ ، فَسَكَتُّ عَنْكَ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ مُؤَمِّلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ وَفِيهِ ضَعْفٌ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met a man, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O so-and-so, how are you?" He replied: "I am well; I praise Allah Almighty." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "May Allah Almighty keep you well." Then one day that man met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "O so-and-so, how are you?" The man replied: "I am well, if I am grateful." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said nothing to him. He said: "O Prophet of Allah, before, when you asked about me, you said: 'May Allah Almighty keep you well!' But today you have said nothing." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Before, when I asked you, you said: 'I am well, and I praise Allah Almighty,' so I said: 'May Allah Almighty keep you well!' Today you said: 'I am well, if I am grateful,' so you expressed doubt, and therefore I too remained silent."
