أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ ، بِنَسَا ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قال : أخبرنا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يقول اللَّهُ جَلَّ وعلا للعبد يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلَانًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي وَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَيَقُولُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي فيقول يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ فيقول ألم تعلم أن عبدي فلانا اسْتَطْعَمَكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Allah Almighty will say to His servant on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam! I was ill, but you did not visit Me. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I visit You, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant was ill, and you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found its reward with Me? Allah Almighty will say: O son of Adam! I asked you for water to drink, but you did not give Me water. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I give You water to drink, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that if you had given water to that person, you would have found (its reward) with Me? O son of Adam! I asked you for food, but you did not give Me food. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I feed You, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant asked you for food, but you did not give him food? If you had given him food, you would have found (its reward) with Me."
