It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has said: When I take the two beloved and precious things of a servant of Mine (that is, his two eyes) while he loves them dearly and grieves at their loss, I am not pleased with any recompense for him in exchange for them less than Paradise, provided that he praises Me for this trial."
Abu Ya'la al-Mawsili recorded this hadith in his Musnad, and all its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy); moreover, its origin is also narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim from Sayyiduna Anas and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with them both).
