Chapters On Zuhd

Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī 2398

الأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الأَمْثَلُ فَالأَمْثَلُ فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِينُهُ صُلْبًا اشْتَدَّ بَلاَؤُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ

al-anbiyāʾu thumma al-amthalu fa-l-amthalu fayubtalā ar-rajulu ʿalā ḥasabi dīnihi fa-in kāna dīnuhu ṣulban āshtadda balāʾuhu wa-in kāna fī dīnihi riqqatun ābtuliya ʿalā ḥasabi dīnihi famā yabraḥu al-balāʾu bi-l-ʿabdi ḥattā yatrukah yamshī ʿalā al-arḍi mā ʿalayhi khaṭīʾatun

The full narration

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrated from his father that a man said:"O Messenger of Allah(s.a.w)! Which of the people is tried most severely?" He said: "The Prophets, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A man is tried according to his religion; if he is firm in his religion, then his trials are more severe, and if he is frail in his religion, then he is tried according to the strength of his religion. The servant shall continue to be tried until he is left walking upon the earth without any sins
