Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جُنَادَةَ بْنَ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ بِاللَّهِ وَتَصْدِيقٌ بِهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ السَّمَاحَةُ وَالصَّبْرُ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا تَتَّهِمِ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي شَيْءٍ قَضَى لَكَ بِهِ.
English Translation
Hasan told us, Ibn Lahi'ah told us, al-Harith ibn Yazid told us, from Ali ibn Rabah, that he heard Junadah ibn Abi Umayyah say: I heard Ubadah ibn al-Samit say: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Prophet of Allah, which deed is best?" He said: "Faith in Allah, and belief in Him, and striving in His way." He said: "I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Generosity and patience." He said: "I want something easier than that, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Do not accuse Allah, Blessed and Exalted, in anything He has decreed for you."
