Hadith 501
۞
3. My father (RA) said: `Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim said, on the authority of his father, on the authority of al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, on the authority of `Abd Allah ibn Sinan, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir that `Awn ibn `Abd Allah ibn Mas`ud became sick as I went to visit him. He said
“Shall I not related to you a tradition from `Abd Allah ibn mas`ud?” I replied, “Why not?” He said: `Abd Allah said: “While we were in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (SA), he smiled. So I asked him, “What is it, O Messenger of Allah?” He (SA) replied, “I am surprised at how a believer can worry about being sick. If he knew the reward which resides in illness, he would ask to be ill until he meets his Lord, the Mighty and High.”
3 - حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن محمد بن المنكدر، قال
مرض عون ابن عبد الله بن مسعود فأتيته أعوده فقال: ألا أحدثك بحديث عن عبد الله بن مسعود قلت: بلى، قال: قال عبد الله: بينما نحن عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله إذ تبسم، فقلت له ما لك يا رسول الله؟ قال: عجبت من المؤمن وجزعه من السقم، ولو يعلم ما له في السقم من الثواب لأحب أن لا يزال سقيما حتى يلقى ربه عز وجل.
