أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : عَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلا قَدْ جَهِدَ حَتَّى صَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ كُنْتَ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ بِشَيْءٍ ؟ " قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، كُنْتُ أَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ ، فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لا تَسْتَطِيعُهُ ، أَوْ لا تُطِيقُهُ ، فَهَلا قُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً ، وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً ، وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ؟ " ، قَالَ : فَدَعَا اللَّهُ فَشَفَاهُ .
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) visited a man who had become as weak as a baby bird due to illness. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you supplicate to Allah for anything? He replied: Yes, I say, "O Allah! Whatever punishment You have destined for me in the Hereafter, give it to me here in this world." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You cannot bear that. (The narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) You do not have the strength for that. Why do you not say: "O Allah! Grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire." The narrator states: He then supplicated to Allah with this prayer, and Allah granted him healing.
