Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1085 — from the grandfather of Muhammad bin Khalid
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ : نَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ الرَّقِّيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ . عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَقُولُ : إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَنْزِلَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ، ابْتَلَاهُ اللهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي وَلَدِهِ ، ثُمَّ صَبَّرَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يُبْلِغَهُ مَنْزِلَتَهُ الَّتِي سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . I " لَا يُرْوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ I " .
It is narrated from the grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him) of Muhammad bin Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him), who had the honour of companionship with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, when a rank has been decreed beforehand for a servant by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, which he cannot reach through his deeds, Allah Almighty tests him in his body, or his wealth, or his children; then He grants him patience over it, until He brings him to the rank that had been decreed for him beforehand by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Abu Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) except with this chain, and Abu al-Malih (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is not narrated from Abu Khalid (may Allah have mercy on him) except with this chain, and Abu al-Malih (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
