عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَحَدُ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ - وَلَا أَحْسَبُهُ إِلَّا قَدْ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يَبْتَلِي عَبْدَهُ بِمَا أَعْطَاهُ ، فَمَنْ رَضِيَ بِمَا قُسِمَ لَهُ ، بَارَكَ اللَّهُ [ لَهُ ] فِيهِ وَوَسِعَهُ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Abu al-Ala' bin al-Shikhkhir relates: A man from Banu Sulaym narrated
this to me, and I think that he had seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty tests His servant through what He gives him. If the servant is pleased with what Allah Almighty has allotted to him, Allah Almighty places blessing for him in it and grants him abundance; and if he is not pleased, no blessing is placed for him."
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَبْتَلِي الْعَبْدَ ، لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يَعْمَلُ ، فَإِنْ رَضِيَ بُورِكَ لَهُ ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ الْمَازِنِيُّ ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Shikhkhir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty tests the servant in order to make evident how the servant acts. If the servant is pleased, blessing is placed for him; and if the servant is not pleased, no blessing is placed for him."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Sa'id bin Rashid al-Mazini, who is matruk (abandoned).

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ - قَالَ : يَا حَبَّذَا الْمَكْرُوهَاتُ : الْمَوْتُ وَالْفَقْرُ ، [ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ ، مَا هُوَ إِلَّا الْغِنَي وَالْفَقْرُ ] وَمَا أُبَالِي بِأَيِّهِمَا ابْتُلِيتُ ، [ لِأَنَّ حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا وَاجِبٌ ] إِنْ كَانَ الْغِنَى إِنَّ فِيهِ الْعَطْفَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْفَقْرُ إِنَّ فِيهِ لَلصَّبْرَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، وَقَدِ اخْتَلَطَ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: "How excellent are the disliked things: death and poverty! By Allah, between wealth and poverty, I do not care with which of the two I am tested, because in each of the two situations the right of Allah Almighty is obligatory: if it is wealth, then kindness is required in it, and if it is poverty, then patience is required in it."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains al-Mas'udi, whose memory became confused (ikhtilat).

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ : مَا يَضُرُّ امْرَأً مُسْلِمًا عَلَى أَيِّ حَالٍ أَصْبَحَ عَلَيْهَا ، أَوْ أَمْسَى لَا تَكُونُ حَزَازَةً فِي نَفْسِهِ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ الْمَسْعُودِيُّ ، وَقَدِ اخْتَلَطَ .
