حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْوَرْدِ، عَنِ اللَّجْلَاجِ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ
قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ النِّعْمَةِ، قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا تَمَامُ النِّعْمَةِ؟
قَالَ: تَمَامُ النِّعْمَةِ دُخُولُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْفَوْزُ مِنَ النَّارِ. ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الصَّبْرَ، قَالَ: قَدْ سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ الْبَلَاءَ، فَسَلْهُ الْعَافِيَةَ. وَمَرَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ يَقُولُ: يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، قَالَ: سَلْ»
“O Allah, I ask you for all of the blessing.” He asked the man whether he knew what all the blessing meant and he said that it meant admittance to paradise and safety from Hell. Then the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed by another man who was saying: “O Allah! I ask you for patience”.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him, “You have asked your lord for trial and difficulty over yourself. So, now ask him also for safety (aafiyah)”. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then came across a third man who said: “O owner of majesty and splendor!”.
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to him, “Make a request!” (because you have called Allah by this great attribute).
