hadith 1618

A blind man went to see the Prophet of God (a.s) and said: “O' Prophet of God! Please pray for my eyes to see. The Prophet (a.s) said: “I will pray for you if you wish to regain your sight, but do you not wish to meet your Lord as you are without any reckoning?” The man said: “I prefer to meet Him without any reckoning.” God's Prophet (a.s) said: “God is nobler than to take some one's sight and then punish him.”

جاء أعمى إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: يا رسول الله، ادع الله أن يكشف بصري، قال: إن أحببت أن أدعو فعسى أن يكشف بصرك وإن شئت تلقاه ولا حساب عليك، فقال: ألقاه ولا حساب علي، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): الله أكرم من أن يسلب امرأ كريمتيه ثم يعذبه.

hadith 1629

A man quoted on the authority of his father: “When Ameer al- Momineen (a.s) was struck, Imam Hassan (a.s) sent me to deliver a letter to Imam Hussein (a.s) in Madaen. When the Imam (a.s) read the letter he said

What a great tragedy. God's Prophet (a.s) was right when he said: “Whoever suffers a tragedy should remember my tragedies, since no creatures suffer from worse tragedies.”

عن رجل عن أبيه قال

لما أصيب أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) بعثني الحسن إلى الحسين (عليهما السلام) وهو بالمدائن، فلما قرأ الكتاب قال: يا لها من مصيبة ما أعظمها! مع أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) قال: من أصيب منكم بمصيبة فليذكر مصابه بي، فإنه لن يصاب بمصيبة أعظم منها، وصدق صلى الله عليه وآله.

hadith 1630

Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “Whenever you experience a calamity regarding yourself, your property or your children, remember the calamities experienced by God’s Prophet (a.s). No creatures ever suffered from worse tragedies.

عن الباقر (عليه السلام)

إن أصبت بمصيبة في نفسك أو مالك أو ولدك فاذكر مصابك برسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فإن الخلائق لم يصابوا بمثله قط.
