٣٧٧٥١ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن (خيثمة) (١) قال: (تقول) (٢) الملائكة: يا رب عبدك المؤمن تزوي عنه الدنيا وتعرضه للبلاء، قال: فيقول للملائكة: اكشفوا لهم عن ثوابه، فإذا (رأوا) (٣) ثوابه قالوا: يا رب لا يضره ما أصابه من الدنيا، قال: ويقولون: عبدك الكافر تزوي عنه البلاء وتبسط له الدنيا، قال: فيقول للملائكة: اكشفوا لهم عن (ثوابه) (٤)، فإذا (رأوا) (٥) (ثوابه) (٦) (قالوا) (٧): يا رب، لا ينفعه ما أصابه من الدنيا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Khaythamah that he said: The angels submitted, "O Lord! The world has become distant from Your believing servant and he has been put forward for afflictions?" The narrator says: Allah Almighty said to (other) angels, "Show them the reward of the believer." So when the angels saw the reward of the believer, they said, "O Lord! Whatever condition befalls the believer in the world, it does not harm him." The narrator said: And the angels submitted, "O Lord! Afflictions have been removed from Your disbelieving servant and the world has been made spacious for him." The narrator says: Allah the Exalted said to the angels, "Show them the reward of the disbeliever." So when the angels saw the reward of the disbeliever, they said, "O Lord! Whatever the disbeliever receives in the world is not beneficial for him."
