Hadith 1494

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مُصْعَبَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ , عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَاءً ؟ فَقَالَ : " الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ، ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ ، فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ رَقِيقَ الدِّينِ ، ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَاكَ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ صُلْبَ الدِّينِ ، ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَاكَ ، قَالَ فَمَا تَزَالُ الْبَلَايَا بِالرَّجُلِ حَتَّى يَمْشِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Upon whom do the severest trials come? He replied: “Upon the Prophets (peace be upon them), then in order of rank upon the rest of the people. A person is tested according to the strength of his religion; if his religion is strong, his trials are increased, and if there is weakness in his religion, his trials are lightened. And trials continue to befall a person until, when he walks upon the earth, there remains no sin upon him.”
