Ghatif ibn al-Harith said that a man came to Abu 'Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah
while he was in pain and asked, "What is the reward of the amir?" Abu 'Ubayda
said, "Do you know that for which you will be rewarded?" The man replied,
"We will be rewarded for things which happen to us which we dislike." Abu
'Ubayda said, "Rather you will be rewarded for what you spend in the Cause
of Allah and what is spent on you. Then there is a reckoning for all parts
of the saddle, even the horse's bridle. Allah will remove your errors from
you for the sake of this fatigue which has afflicted your bodies."

'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sa'id reported that his father said, "I waswith Salman when he visited a sick person in Kinda. When he went in, he

why it was hobbled or released.'"

Shall I bequeath two-thirds of my property to be spent in charity and leave one-third (for the heir)?" He said, "No!" Then I asked, "Shall I bequeath half and leave her half?" He again said, "No". Then I asked, "Shall I Bequeath one-third and leave two- third (for her)?" the Prophet said,"(You may bequeath) one-third, but even
one-third is much".
He then placed his hand on my forehead and passed it over my face and
stomach and made this supplication. "O Allah, cure sad and completed his
emigration." Ever since I have not ceased to sense the pleasant cool of his
hand on my liver."

When he was returning, one of their women followed behind him and said, "By Him who has sent you with the truth, I am of the Ansar and my father is also one of the Ansar. Just as you have prayed for the Ansar, pray for me too." The Prophet sg asked her, "What is it that you wish? If you wish, I will pray to Allah that he grant you health but if you are patient then paradise is for you." She said, "I will endure (fever) patiently and will not risk (my chance of) admission to paradise."

حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى أَسْمَاءَ، قَبْلَ قَتْلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِعَشْرِ لَيَالٍ، وَأَسْمَاءُ وَجِعَةٌ، فَقَالَ لَهَا عَبْدُ اللهِ: كَيْفَ تَجِدِينَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: وَجِعَةٌ، قَالَ: إِنِّي فِي الْمَوْتِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَعَلَّكَ تَشْتَهِي مَوْتِي، فَلِذَلِكَ تَتَمَنَّاهُ؟ فَلاَ تَفْعَلْ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَمُوتَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدُ طَرَفَيْكَ، أَوْ تُقْتَلَ فَأَحْتَسِبَكَ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَظْفُرَ فَتَقَرَّ عَيْنِي، فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُعْرَضَ عَلَيْكَ خُطَّةٌ، فَلاَ تُوَافِقُكَ، فَتَقْبَلُهَا كَرَاهِيَةَ الْمَوْتِ. وإنما عنى ابن الزبير ليقتل فيُحزنُها ذلك.
Hisham reported that his father ('Urwa ibn az-Zubayr) said, "'Abdullah
ibn az-Zubayr and I went to visit Asma' ten nights before 'Abdullah was
killed. Asma' was in pain and 'Abdullah asked her, 'How are you feeling?'
'In pain,' she replied. He said, 'I am near death.' She said, 'Perhaps
you desire my death and that is the reason you desire it? Do not do that.
By Allah, I do not want to die until I reach one of the two ends:
either
you will be killed and I will leave you to Allah or you will win and I
will be content. Beware of having your portion presented to you and then
you do not agree with it. Accept it, even though you dislike death."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ مَوْعُوكٌ، عَلَيْهِ قَطِيفَةٌ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ، فَوَجَدَ حَرَارَتَهَا فَوْقَ الْقَطِيفَةِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ: مَا أَشَدَّ حُمَّاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ، يَشْتَدُّ عَلَيْنَا الْبَلاَءُ، وَيُضَاعَفُ لَنَا الأَجْرُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلاَءً؟ قَالَ: الأَنْبِيَاءُ، ثُمَّ الصَّالِحُونَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُبْتَلَى بِالْفَقْرِ حَتَّى مَا يَجِدُ إِلاَّ الْعَبَاءَةَ يَجُوبُهَا فَيَلْبَسُهَا، وَيُبْتَلَى بِالْقُمَّلِ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ، وَلَأَحَدُهُمْ كَانَ أَشَدَّ فَرَحًا بِالْبَلاَءِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِالْعَطَاءِ.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that he came to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, while he had a fever. He had a
covering over him. He placed his hand on him and discovered that it was
hot above the covering. Abu Sa'id exclaimed, 'How hot your fever is, Messenger
of Allah!' He said, 'We are like that. The affliction is hard on us, but
the reward is doubled for us.' He said, 'Messenger of Allah, which people
have the greatest affliction?' He replied, 'The Prophets, and then the
righteous. One of them was tested by poverty to such an extent that he
could only find a robe to cover himself with and he wore it. Another was
tested by fleas until they killed him. They have greater joy in affliction
than one of you has in gifts."

Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said, "I was ill, and the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, came with Abu Bakr to visit me. They came
on foot. They found that I had fainted, so the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, did wudu' and then poured his wudu' water on me.
I came to and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
there. I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, what should I do with my property?
Give me a judgement regarding my property.' He did not give me any answer
until the ayat of inheritance was revealed."

Usama ibn Zayd reported that a child of one of the daughters of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was very
ill. His mother sent word to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, to say that her child was dying. He told the messenger, "Go
and tell her that to Allah belongs what He takes and what He gives. Everything
is with Him until a stated term. She should be patient and leave him to
Allah." The messenger went back and told her. She sent to him again to
plead with him to come. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, got up with a group of his Companions, including Sa'd ibn 'Ubada.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took the child and
put him on his breast. The child was shaking like a leaf against his chest.
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wept and
Sa'd said, "Do you weep, Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "I weep out of
compassion for the child. Allah only shows mercy to those of His slaves
who are merciful."

Ibrahim ibn Abi 'Abla said, "My wife was ill and I used to go to
Umm ad-Darda'. She asked me, 'How's your family?' 'Ill,' I replied. She

same thing again. I visited her yet again and she asked, 'How are they?'
'They are almost well,' I replied. She said, 'I called for good for you
when you told me that your family were ill. Since they are almost well
know, we will not call for anything for you.'"

to visit the graves." "It is a blessing then," he concluded.

قَالَ مَرْوَانُ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: مَا اجْتَمَعَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ فِي رَجُلٍ فِي يَوْمٍ، إِلاَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ.

You did not ask me for food and You are the Lord of the universe?' He will
say, 'Do you not know that My slave so-and-so asked you for food and you
did not feed him? Do you not know that if you had fed him, you would have
found that action with Me? Son of Adam, I asked you for water and you did
not give Me water.' The slave will reply, 'O Lord, how could I give you
water when You are the Lord of the universe?' He will say, 'My slave so-and-so
asked you for water and you did not give him water. Do you not know that
if you had given him water, you would have found that action with Me? Son
of Adam, I was ill and you did not visit Me.' He will say, 'O Lord, how
could I visit You when You are the Lord of the universe?' He will say,
'Do you not know that My slave so-and-so was ill. If you had visited him
you would have found that action with Me (or you would have found Me with
him)."

Three of the Banu Sa'd related from their father that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited Sa'd (ibn Abi
Waqqas) in Makka and Sa'd wept. He asked, "Why are your weeping?" Sa'd
replied, "I fear that I will die in the land from which I have emigrated
as Sa'd (ibn Khawla) died." The Prophet said, "O Allah, heal Sa'd!" three
times. Sa'd said, "I have a lot of property which my daughter will inherit.
Shall I will all of it away?" "No," he replied. Sa'd asked, "Two-thirds?"
"No," he replied. "A half then?" Sa'd asked. "No," he answered. Sa'd asked,
"A third?" "A third," he said, "but a third is a lot. What you give as
sadaqa from your property is sadaqa. What you spend on your family is sadaqa.
What your wife eats of your food is sadaqa for you. It is better for you
to leave your family in a state of plenty (or he said "livelihood") than
to leave them where they have to importune people."
