Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The fourth hadith is from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:42 It was narrated by Ibn Hibban in his Sahih.
The hadith following it is similar to it in authenticity. It is from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:40.
The remaining hadiths of this chapter are weak, and we pass over them as is customary. The summary of these hadiths is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encourages the Muslim that when he is tested with such a great and major calamity, he should receive it with patience, satisfaction, and praise, seeking the reward for that with Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), so that he may be a gainer and not be among the losers in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
Allah does not take away a beloved slave of His, and he is patient and seeks reward, except that Allah admits him to Paradise
لا يذهب الله بحبيبتي عبد فيصبر ويحتسب إلا أدخله الله الجنةThe hadith following it is similar to it in authenticity. It is from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Allah says: When I take away My noble slave, and he is patient and seeks reward, I am not pleased for him with any reward less than Paradise
يقول الله إذا أخذت كريمتي عبدي فصبر واحتسب لم أرض له ثوابا دون الجنةThe remaining hadiths of this chapter are weak, and we pass over them as is customary. The summary of these hadiths is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encourages the Muslim that when he is tested with such a great and major calamity, he should receive it with patience, satisfaction, and praise, seeking the reward for that with Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), so that he may be a gainer and not be among the losers in the sight of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
