(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ
عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ
مُصْعَبِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
سَعْدٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَاءً ؟ قَالَ : " الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ، ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ ، فَالْأَمْثَلُ ، حَتَّى يُبْتَلَى الْعَبْدُ عَلَى قَدْرِ دِينِهِ ذَاكَ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ صُلْبَ الدِّينِ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَاكَ ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً اشْتَدَّ بَلاَؤُه وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَاكَ ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً : عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ ، قَالَ : فَمَا تَبْرَحُ الْبَلَايَا عَنِ الْعَبْدِ ، حَتَّى يَمْشِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي : وَمَا إِنْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ " ، قَالَ أَبِي ، وَقَالَ مَرَّةً ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ .
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.”
