Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27476 — A man who is asked: How are you this
٢٧٤٧٦ - حدثنا جرير عن مغيرة قال: كان علي إذا سئل وهو مريض، كيف أنت؟ قال: بشر، وقرأ هذه الآية: ﴿وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً﴾ [الأنبياء: ٣٥] (١).
Mughirah said that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked during an illness "How are you?" he would say: "In a very bad state," and he would recite this verse: "And We shall test you with evil and good" [Al-Anbiya: 35].
