Musnad Abi Ya'la 3837 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited a man who had
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَادَ رَجُلًا قَدْ صَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ الْمَنْتُوفِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ كُنْتَ تَدْعُو بِشَيْءٍ ، أَوْ تَسْأَلُهُ ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ! إِذًا لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهُ ، فَلَوْلَا قُلْتَ : رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) visited a man who had become (from the severity of illness) like a bird whose feathers have been plucked (extremely emaciated and frail). He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Did you use to ask Allah with some particular supplication, or ask for something?" He said: Yes, I used to say: 'Allahumma ma kunta mu'aqibi bihi fil-akhirati fa-'ajjilhu li fid-dunya' (O Allah, whatever punishment You are going to give me in the Hereafter, give it to me quickly in this world). Hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Subhan Allah! You would never have the strength to bear it, nor the ability for it. Why did you not say: 'Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhab an-nar' (Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of Hell)?"
