“I entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) when
he
was suffering from a fever, I placed my hand on him and felt heat
with
my hand from above the blanket. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
how
hard it is for you!’ He said: ‘We (Prophets) are like that.
The trial
is multiplied for us and so is the reward.’ I said: ‘O
Messenger of
Allah, which people are most severely tested?’ He
said: ‘The
Prophets.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, then who?’
He said: ‘Then
the righteous, some of whom were tested with poverty
until they could
not find anything except a cloak to put around
themselves. One of them
will rejoice at calamity as one of you would
rejoice at ease.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 99
