Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those who remained healthy in the world will wish on the Day of Resurrection that their flesh had been cut with scissors, because they will see the immense reward given to those who suffered afflictions in the world."

´Jabir narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:` "On the Day of Judgement, when the people who were tried (in this world) are given their rewards, the people who were pardoned (in life), will wish that their skins had been cut off with scissors while they were in the world."
