Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38286 — Reports on weeping out of fear
٣٨٢٨٦ - حدثنا أبو أسامة قال: (حدثنا جرير قال) (١): حدثني عبد اللَّه بن عبيد ابن عمير قال: كان لأيوب النبي ﷺ أخوان (فجاءا) (٢) (جميعًا) (٣) فلم يستطيعا (أن يدنوا منه) (٤) من ريحه، فقال أحدهما للآخر: لو كان اللَّه علم لأيوب خيرا ما بلغ به هذا، فجزع أيوب من قولهما جزعا شديدا لم (يجزعه) (٥) من شيء قط، فقال أيوب: اللهم إن كنت تعلم أني لم (أبت) (٦) ليلة قط (شبعا) (٧) وأنا أعلم مكان جائع فصدقني، فصدق وهما يسمعان، ثم قال: اللهم إن كنت تعلم أني لم ألبس قميصا قط وأنا أعلم مكان عار فصدقنى، فصدق وهما يسمعان، ثم خر ساجدا، ثم قال: اللهم إني لا أرفع رأسي حتى تكشف عني، قال: فما رفع رأسه حتى كشف اللَّه عنه.
Abdullah bin Ubayd bin Umayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ayyub (peace be upon him) had two brothers. The two of them came together but could not draw near him because of the smell coming from Ayyub. One of them said: If Allah Almighty had seen any good in Ayyub (peace be upon him), He would not have brought him to this. Ayyub (peace be upon him) was so severely distressed by these words of theirs as he had never been before. Then Ayyub (peace be upon him) said: "O Allah, if You know that I never slept with a full stomach on any night while I knew the place of a hungry person, then confirm my truthfulness." So he was confirmed, while the two of them were listening. Then he made supplication: "O Allah, if You know that I never wore a shirt while I knew the place of a naked person, then confirm my truthfulness." So he was confirmed, while the two of them were listening. Then Ayyub (peace be upon him) fell down in prostration and made supplication: "O Allah, I will not raise my head until You remove my affliction." And he did not raise his head until Allah had removed his affliction.
