Hadith 37315
٣٧٣١٥ - حدثنا وكيع عن أبي هلال عن معاوية بن قرة قال: مرض أبو الدرداء فعادوه فقالوا: أي شيء تشتكي؟ قال: ذنوبي، قيل: أي شيء تشتهي؟ قال: الجنة، قيل: ندعو لك (الطبيب؟) (١) قال: هو أضجعني (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Muawiyah bin Qurrah that he says Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) fell ill, so people came to visit him. People asked: What is it that you are suffering from? He replied: From my sins. He was asked: What is it that you desire? He replied: Paradise. It was said: Shall we call a doctor for you? He replied: It is He (Allah) who has laid me on this bed.
