Hadith 1091
1091 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أُرْسِلَ عَلَي أَيُّوبَ رِجْلٌ مِنْ جَرَادٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَعَلَ يَنْشُرُ يَقْبِضُهَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ، فَنُودِيَ يَا أَيُّوبُ، أَلَمْ يَكْفِكَ مَا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ؟ قَالَ: أَيْ رَبِّ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِي عَنْ فَضْلِكَ "
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some locusts made of gold were sent to Sayyiduna Ayyub (peace be upon him), so he spread his sheet and began to collect them in his garment. Then a call was made: "O Ayyub! Is what We have given you not sufficient for you?" He replied: "O my Lord! Who can be free of need from Your bounty?"
