عربی (اصل)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ وَكَانَ لِجَدِّهِ صُحْبَةٌ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ زَائِرًا لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ فَبَلَغَهُ شَكَاتُهُ قَالَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَتَيْتُكَ زَائِرًا عَائِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا قَالَ كَيْفَ جَمَعْتَ هَذَا كُلَّهُ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ زِيَارَتَكَ فَبَلَغَتْنِي شَكَاتُكَ فَكَانَتْ عِيَادَةً وَأُبَشِّرُكَ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا سَبَقَتْ لِلْعَبْدِ مِنْ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي وَلَدِهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّرَهُ حَتَّى يُبْلِغَهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنْهُ.

Husayn ibn Muhammad narrated to us: Abu al-Malih narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Khalid, from his father, from his grandfather — who had companionship with the Prophet — that he set out to visit a brother of his, having heard news of his illness. He said: He went in to him and said, "I have come to you as a visitor, one who inquires after your health, and a bearer of good news." He said, "How have you combined all this?" He said, "I set out intending to visit you, then news of your illness reached me, so it became a sick-visit as well; and I bring you good news of something I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." He said: "When a rank from Allah has already been decreed for a servant, one which he cannot reach through his deeds, Allah tries him in his body, or his wealth, or his child, then gives him patience, until He brings him to the rank that had already been decreed for him."
