Jami at-Tirmidhi 3487 (Book 48, Hadith 118) #29136
Supplicating for Good in This World and the Hereafter

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ visited a man who was so emaciated that he had become like a baby bird and advised him to supplicate for good in this world and the hereafter, instead of asking Allah to hasten his punishment.

Anas bin Malik narrated that: The Prophet visited a man who was so emaciated that he had become like a baby bird. He said to him: "And did you not used to supplicate? Did you not used to ask Your Lord for sound health?" He said: "I used to say: "O Allah, whatever You are going to punish me with in the Hereafter, then hasten it for me in this world". So the Prophet said: "Glory is to Allah, you are not capable of that" – or – "you are not able to stand that. Would you not say: 'O Allah, give us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and spare us the punishment of the Fire (Allahumma atina fid-dunya ḥasanatan wa fil akhirati ḥasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar).’"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ عَادَ رَجُلاً قَدْ جُهِدَ حَتَّى صَارَ مِثْلَ الْفَرْخِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ أَمَا كُنْتَ تَدْعُو أَمَا كُنْتَ تَسْأَلُ رَبَّكَ الْعَافِيَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ مَا كُنْتَ مُعَاقِبِي بِهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ فَعَجِّلْهُ لِي فِي الدُّنْيَا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لاَ تُطِيقُهُ - أَوْ لاَ تَسْتَطِيعُهُ أَفَلاَ كُنْتَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ
