Musnad Abi Ya'la 4010 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went to visit a man
حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَعُودُهُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ عَادَ كَالْفَرْخِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْمَرَضِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَمَا كُنْتَ تَدْعُو ؟ أَمَا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : بَلَى ، كُنْتُ أَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِذًا لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ ، أَلَا قُلْتَ : رَبِّ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً ، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ، فَقَالَهَا ، فَعُوفِيَ .
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) went to visit a man who was ill, and who had become (extremely frail) like a chick because of the severity of his illness. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Did you not make any supplication or request to Allah?" He said: Yes, I used to say: "O Allah! Whatever punishment You were going to give me in the Hereafter, give it to me quickly in this world." At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you would not be able to bear it. Why did you not say: 'Rabbi atini fi al-dunya hasanatan wa fi al-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhab al-nar'" (My Lord! Grant me good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire). So that man said these words, and he was cured.
