Jami at-Tirmidhi 3003 (Book 47, Hadith 55) #28652
The Reaction of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Times of Adversity

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) being wounded and his reaction to it. He asked Allah why a nation would do this to their Prophet while he was calling them to Allah.

Narrated Anas: "The face of the Messenger of Allah was wounded, his incisors were broken, and he was struck by an arrow on his shoulder. While blood was flowing over his face and he was wiping it, he said: 'How can a nation succeed while they are doing this to their Prophet and he is calling them to Allah?' So Allah, Most High revealed: Not for you is the decision; whether He turns in mercy towards them or punishes them; verily they are the wrongdoers (3:128)".
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شُجَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَكُسِرَتْ رَبَاعِيَتُهُ وَرُمِيَ رَمْيَةً عَلَى كَتِفِهِ فَجَعَلَ الدَّمُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُهُ وَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ كَيْفَ تُفْلِحُ أُمَّةٌ فَعَلُوا هَذَا بِنَبِيِّهِمْ وَهُوَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏:‏ ‏(‏لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ ‏)‏ ‏.‏ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ بْنَ حُمَيْدٍ يَقُولُ غَلِطَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ فِي هَذَا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the reaction of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he was faced with adversity. During a battle, his face was wounded and his incisors were broken and an arrow struck him on his shoulder. Despite all this, he still asked Allah why a nation would do this to their prophet while he was calling them to Him. In response, Allah revealed verse 3:128 which states that it is not for us humans to decide whether He turns in mercy towards them or punishes them; verily they are wrongdoers. This hadith teaches us that even in times of difficulty we should remain patient and trust in God's plan for us as He knows best what is good for us even if we don't understand it at first glance. It also teaches us that no matter how difficult our situation may be, we should never lose faith or give up hope as God will always provide guidance and support if we turn towards Him with sincerity and humility.
