Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: He said (may Allah have mercy on him): "From Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
there were three men among the B. Isra’il, one leprous, one bald and one blind, whom God wished to test. He therefore sent to them an angel who came to the leper and asked him what he would like best and he replied, “A good colour, a good skin, and to be rid of what makes me loathsome to people.” Thereupon he stroked him and his loathsomeness departed and he was given a good colour and a good skin. He then asked What property he would like best and he replied that he would like camels—or perhaps he said cattle إن ثلاثة من بني إسرائيل أبرص وأقرع وأعمى أراد الله أن يبتليهم فبعث إليهم ملكا فأتى الأبرص فقال أي شيء أحب إليك قال لون حسن وجلد حسن ويذهب عني الذي قد قذرني الناس فمسحه فذهب عنه قذره وأعطي لونا حسنا فقال فأي المال أحب إليك قال الإبل أو قال البقر

The narrator was uncertain
He was given a she-camel ten months gone with young, the angel expressing the wish that God’s blessing might accompany it. He then went to the bald man and asked him what he would like best and he replied, "Good hair, and to be rid of what makes me loathsome to people.” Thereupon he stroked him and it departed from him and he was given good hair. He then asked what property he would like best and he replied that he would like cattle, so he was given a pregnant cow, the angel expressing the wish that God’s blessing might accompany it. فأعطي ناقة عشراء فقال بارك الله لك فيها فأتى الأقرع فقال أي شيء أحب إليك قال شعر حسن ويذهب عني الذي قذرني الناس فمسحه فذهب عنه وأعطي شعرا حسنا قال فأي المال أحب إليك قال البقر فأعطي بقرة حاملا قال بارك الله لك فيها
