402/517 عن ابي هريرة، عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:" يقول الله: استطعمتك فلم تطعمني. قال: فيقول: يا رب! وكيف استطعمتني، ولم اطعمك وانت رب العالمين؟ قال: اما علمت ان عبدي فلانا استطعمك فلم تطعمه؟ اما عملت انك لو اطعمته لوجدت ذلك عندي؟ ابن آدم! استسقيتك فلم تسقني. فقال: يا رب! وكيف اسقيك وانت رب العالمين؟ فيقول: [ إن عبدي فلانا استسقاك فلم تسقه] اما علمت انك لو كنت سقيته لوجدت ذلك عندي؟ يا ابن آدم! مرضت فلم تعدني. قال: يا رب! كيف اعودك، وانت رب العالمين؟ قال: اما علمت ان عبدي فلانا مرض، فلو كنت عدته لوجدت ذلك عندي؟ او وجدتني عنده؟".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah says: I asked you for food and you did not feed Me. The servant will say, ‘O my Lord! How could I feed You, while You are the Lord of the worlds?’ Allah will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant asked you for food but you did not feed him? Did you not know that if you had fed him, you would have found its reward with Me? O son of Adam! I asked you for water and you did not give Me water to drink. He will say, ‘O my Lord! How could I give You water to drink, while You are the Lord of the worlds?’ Allah will say: My such-and-such servant asked you for water and you did not give him. Did you not know that if you had given him water to drink, you would have found its reward with Me? O son of Adam! I fell ill and you did not visit Me. The servant will say, ‘O my Lord! How could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?’ Allah will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant fell ill, and if you had visited him, you would have found its reward with Me or found Me with him.”
