Visiting someone with eye trouble

Zayd ibn Arqam said, "I had a pain in my eyes and the Prophet ﷺ visited me and said, 'Zayd, if tour eyes were to go blind because of their illness, what would you do?' He said, 'I would be steadfast and reckon my reward to be with Allah.' He said, 'If that happens to your eyes and you are steadfast and reckon your reward to be with Allah, then your reward will be the Garden.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ يَقُولُ: رَمِدَتْ عَيْنِي، فَعَادَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا زَيْدُ، لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَكَ لَمَّا بِهَا كَيْفَ كُنْتَ تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَصْبِرُ وَأَحْتَسِبُ، قَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ عَيْنَكَ لَمَّا بِهَا، ثُمَّ صَبَرْتَ وَاحْتَسَبْتَ كَانَ ثَوَابُكَ الْجَنَّةَ.

Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad reported that one of the Companions of Muhammad lost his eyesight and people visited him. He said, "I used to look at the Prophet ﷺ but now that the Prophet ﷺ has died, by Allah, what has happened to my eyes is as easy for me to bear as one of the gazelles of Tibala (in Yemen)."

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ، فَعَادُوهُ، فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ أُرِيدُهُمَا لَأَنْظُرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَمَّا إِذْ قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ مَا بِهِمَا بِظَبْيٍ مِنْ ظِبَاءِ تَبَالَةَ.

Anas said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ say that Allah Almighty said, 'When I test him in his two precious ones (i.e. his eyes) and he is steadfast, I will repay him with the Garden.'"

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَابْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالاَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْهَادِ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُهُ بِحَبِيبَتَيْهِ، يُرِيدُ عَيْنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ صَبَرَ عَوَّضْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
