Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "My eyes became sore, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me during my eye inflammation and said: 'O Zayd, if your eyes were to remain (permanently) in the state they are in now, what would you do?' I said: 'I would be patient and hope for the reward.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Zayd, if your eyes were to remain in the state they are in now, and you were patient and hoped for the reward, you would have no reward other than Paradise.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) except his son Yunus, and Abu Qutaybah is alone in narrating it."
