90 – Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated to me; Yahya ibn Ishaq narrated to us; al-Nadr ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us; he said:
“Al-Rabiʿ ibn Abi Rashid passed by a man suffering from a chronic disability. He sat down, praised Allah, and began to weep. A passer-by asked him, ‘What makes you weep—may Allah have mercy on you?’ He replied, ‘I recalled the people of Paradise and the people of Hell. I pictured the people of Paradise as those enjoying soundness and ease, and the people of Hell as those burdened with affliction—and that is what brought me to tears.’”}
٩٠ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: " مَرَّ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ بِرَجُلٍ بِهِ زَمَانَةٌ، فَجَلَسَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ وَيَبْكِي، فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: مَا يُبْكِيكَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ: ذَكَرْتُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَأَهْلَ النَّارِ، فَشَبَّهْتُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ بِأَهْلِ الْعَافِيَةِ، وَأَهْلَ النَّارِ بِأَهْلِ الْبَلَاءِ، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي أَبْكَانِي "
