Sahih Muslim 2688c (Book 48, Hadith 33) #13910
The Powerlessness of Man Against Allah's Punishment

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who was very weak and ill, and the Prophet (PBUH) reminded him that no one has enough power to withstand Allah's punishment.

Anas reported that Allah's Messenger visited a person from amongst his Companions who had grown as feeble as the chicken. The rest of the hadith is the same, but with this variation that he (the Holy Prophet) said: You have not power enough to undergo the torment imposed by Allah. And there is no mention of: He supplicated Allah for him and He cured him.
وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّعليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَعُودُهُ وَقَدْ صَارَ كَالْفَرْخِ ‏.‏ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ حُمَيْدٍ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ طَاقَةَ لَكَ بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ لَهُ فَشَفَاهُ
