From the Musnad of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1045 — he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ ، عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَ حَرَّهَا فَوْقَ الْقَطِيفَةِ . فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : مَا أَشَدَّ حَرَّ حُمَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ يُشَدَّدُ عَلَيْنَا الْبَلَاءُ ، وَيُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الْأَجْرُ . قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَنْ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ بَلَاءً ؟ قَالَ : « الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالصَّالِحُونَ ، لَقَدْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ إِلَّا الْعَبَاءَةَ يَحْوِيهَا فَيَلْبَسُهَا ، وَيُبْتَلَى بِالْقُمَّلِ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ ، وَلَأَحَدُهُمْ كَانَ أَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِالْبَلَاءِ مِنْكُمْ بِالْعَطَاءِ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the grip of a severe fever, with a blanket (qatifah) over him. He placed his hand on him (peace and blessings be upon him) and felt the heat of his blessed body even over the blanket. At this Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how severe your fever is!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Such is our case: trial is made severe for us (the prophets), and our reward is also doubled." They said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who among people are tried most severely?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The prophets, and then the righteous. (In the earlier nations) one of them would be tried with such poverty that he found nothing to wear but a single cloak which he would wrap around his body, and another would be tried with an abundance of lice until they killed him. And indeed they used to rejoice more at a trial coming from Allah than you rejoice at being given wealth."
