حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ بَهَانٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَقُولُ اللَّهُ : مَنْ أَذْهَبْتُ كَرِيمَتَيْهِ فَصَبَرَ وَاحْتَسَبَ لَمْ أَرْضَ لَهُ ثَوَابًا دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ ، إِلا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ سَلامُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ . تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ سَهْلُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، وَلا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ سَهْلٍ ، إِلا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَرُومَةَ الأَصْبَهَانِيُّ الْحَافِظُ ، وَالْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ بَهَانٍ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'If I take away the two beloved eyes of someone, and he remains patient and seeks reward, then I will be pleased with nothing less than Paradise as his reward.'"

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The eyes are among the most beloved organs of a human being. Their value and worth can be truly understood by those who are deprived of them. To be patient over their loss means that one should hope for reward from Allah Ta’ala, not complain to anyone about the loss of eyesight, nor express restlessness or agitation. Indeed, in one narration it is explicitly stated that along with patience, one should also intend to seek reward from Allah Ta’ala. (: Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Az-Zuhd, Hadith: 2401)
(2)
When Allah Ta’ala tests His servant, it is not out of displeasure; rather, through this He averts some other calamity, or makes it a means of expiation for his sins and elevation of his ranks. If one endures such a trial with a cheerful heart, his objective may be fulfilled.

Explanation:
1:
Among the blessings that a person receives from the Lord of all the worlds, the eye is a very great blessing. This is why, when the Lord of all the worlds takes away this blessing from a servant and the servant responds with patience and contentment, then on the Day of Resurrection, the reward that will be granted in exchange for this blessing is Paradise.
