hadith 4405
A man once heard the Prophet (SAWA) reciting the chapter [of the Qur an] entitled al-Qariaah (The Catastrophe) in his evening prayer, as a result of which he supplicated to be punished for his sins in this world and fell ill as a result. The Prophet (SAWA) said to him, ‘You spoke badly indeed when you should have said, ‘Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire! and he supplicated for him until he got up again.
الدعوات: رُويَ أنَّ النَّبيَّ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) دَخلَ عَلى مَريضٍ ، قالَ: ما شأنُكَ؟ قالَ: صَلَّيتَ بِنا صلاةَ المَغربِ فقرأتَ القارِعَةَ ، فقلتُ: اللّهمَّ إن كانَ لي عندَكَ ذَنبٌ تريدُ أن تُعذِّبني بهِ في الآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْ ذلكَ في الدُّنيا؛ فَصرتُ كَما ترى! فقال (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): بِئسَما قُلتَ ، ألا قُلتَ، رَبَّنا آتِنا في الدّنيا حَسَنَةً وفي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وقِنا عَذابَ النّارِ ؟! فَدَعا لَهُ حَتّى أفاقَ.

Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) bumped into the shoulder of a man circumambulating the kaaba saying, ‘O Allah verily I ask You for patience, upon which the Imam said, ‘You have asked to be tried! Say instead O Allah verily I ask You for vitality, and for the ability to thank You for my vitality.
الإمامُ زينَ العابدينُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ لَمّا ضَرَبَ عَلى كَتِفِ رَجُلٍ يَطوفُ بِالكَعبَةِ ويَقولُ: اللّهُمَّ إنّي أسألُكَ الصَّبرَ ـ: سَألتَ البَلاءَ ! قُلِ: اللّهُمَّ إنّي أسألُكَ العافِيَةَ ، والشُّكرَ عَلَى العافِيَةِ .
