It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I was sitting in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was speaking about well-being, and the great reward that Allah Almighty has prepared for the one granted well-being when he gives thanks; and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was also speaking about trial, and the great reward that Allah Almighty has prepared for the one put to trial when he is patient. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, I would prefer to be granted well-being and be thankful rather than to be put to trial and be patient.' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: 'And the Messenger of Allah also loves well-being along with you.'"
No one narrated this hadith from Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), and Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
