حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدٌ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مِمَّ أَضْحَكُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمِمَّ تَضْحَكُ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ لِأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ إِنْ أَصَابَهُ مَا يُحِبُّ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَكَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَصَبَرَ كَانَ لَهُ خَيْرٌ وَلَيْسَ كُلُّ أَحَدٍ أَمْرُهُ كُلُّهُ لَهُ خَيْرٌ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ قَالَ أَبِي و حَدَّثَنَاه عَفَّانُ أَيْضًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ هَذَا اللَّفْظَ بِعَيْنِهِ وَأُرَاهُ وَهِمَ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَمَّادٍ وَقَدْ حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ نَحْوًا مِنْ لَفْظِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ وَذَلِكَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ قَرَأَهُ عَلَيْنَا.
English Translation
Affan narrated to us: Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us: Thabit narrated to us, from Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Layla, from Suhayb, who said: While the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting with his companions, he laughed, and said: Will you not ask me why I am laughing? They said: O Messenger of Allah, why are you laughing? He said: I marvel at the affair of the believer — indeed his affair is all good. If something he loves befalls him he praises Allah, and that is good for him; and if something he dislikes befalls him he is patient, and that is good for him; and not everyone's affair is entirely good for him except the believer's. My father said: Affan also narrated it to us; Sulayman narrated it to us, Thabit narrated to us this same wording, and I think he was mistaken — this is the wording of Hammad; and he had narrated to us, Sulayman said, Thabit narrated to us similar to the wording of Abdur-Rahman, from Sulayman, and that was from his book which he read out to us.
