1868 صحيح حديث ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه، انه سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول: إن ثلاثة في بني إسرائيل، ابرص واقرع واعمى بدا لله ان يبتليهم فبعث إليهم ملكا فاتى الابرص فقال: اي شيء احب إليك قال: لون حسن وجلد حسن قد قذرني الناس قال: فمسحه، فذهب عنه فاعطي لونا حسنا فقال: اي المال احب إليك قال: الإبل فاعطى ناقة عشراء فقال: يبارك لك فيها واتى الاقرع فقال: اي شيء احب إليك قال: شعر حسن، ويذهب عني هذا قد قذرني الناس قال: فمسحه فذهب واعطي شعرا حسنا قال: فاي المال احب إليك قال: البقر قال: فاعطاه بقرة حاملا وقال: يبارك لك فيها واتى الاعمى، فقال: اي شيء احب إليك قال: يرد الله إلي بصري، فابصر به الناس قال: فمسحه فرد الله إليه بصره قال: فاي المال احب إليك قال: الغنم فاعطاه شاة والدا فانتجن هذان وولد هذا فكان لهذه واد من إبل، ولهذا واد من بقر، ولهذا واد من الغنم ثم إنه اتى الابرص في صورته وهيئته، فقال: رجل مسكين تقطعت بي الجبال في سفري فلا بلاغ اليوم إلا بالله، ثم بك اسالك، بالذي اعطاك اللون الحسن، والجلد الحسن، والمال، بعيرا اتبلغ عليه في سفري فقال له: إن الحقوق كثيرة فقال له: كاني اعرفك الم تكن ابرص يقذرك الناس، فقيرا فاعطاك الله فقال: لقد ورثت لكابر عن كابر فقال: إن كنت كاذبا، فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت واتى الاقرع في صورته وهيئته، فقال له مثل ما قال لهذا فرد عليه مثل ما رد عليه هذا فقال: إن كنت كاذبا فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت واتى الاعمى في صورته فقال: رجل مسكين، وابن سبيل، وتقطعت بي الحبال في سفري فلا بلاغ اليوم إلا بالله، ثم بك اسالك، بالذي رد عليك بصرك، شاة اتبلغ بها في سفري فقال: قد كنت اعمى فرد الله بصري، وفقيرا فقد اغناني فخذ ما شئت فوالله لا اجهدك اليوم بشيء اخذته لله فقال: امسك مالك فإنما ابتليتم فقد رضي الله عنك، وسخط على صاحبيك
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: Among the Children of Israel there were three men: one was a leper, the second was blind, and the third was bald. Allah Almighty wished to test them. So Allah sent an angel to them. The angel first came to the leper and asked him, "What thing do you like the most?" He replied, "A good color and good skin, because people avoid me." It is narrated that the angel passed his hand over him, and his disease was removed, his color became beautiful, and his skin became good. The angel asked, "What kind of wealth do you like most?" He said, "Camels!" or he said, "Cows." So he was given a pregnant she-camel, and it was said, "Allah will bless you in this." Then the angel came to the bald man and asked him, "What thing do you like?" He said, "Good hair, and that my present defect be removed, because people avoid me because of it." It is narrated that the angel passed his hand over his head, and his defect was gone, and in its place came good hair. The angel asked, "What kind of wealth do you like?" He said, "Cows!" It is narrated that the angel gave him a pregnant cow and said, "Allah will bless you in this." Then the angel came to the blind man and said, "What thing do you like?" He said, "That Allah gives me eyesight so that I may see people." It is narrated that the angel passed his hand, and Allah Almighty restored his sight to him. Then he asked, "What kind of wealth do you like?" He said, "Goats!" The angel gave him a pregnant goat. Then all three animals gave birth, until the leper's valley was filled with camels, the bald man's valley was filled with cows, and the blind man's valley was filled with goats. Then the angel came again in his original form to the leper and said, "I am a very poor and destitute man, all the provisions and means for my journey have ended, and there is no hope of fulfilling my need except from Allah Almighty. But I ask you, by the One who gave you good color, good skin, and wealth, for a camel so that I may complete my journey." He said to the angel, "There are many rights upon me." The angel said, "Perhaps I recognize you. Were you not afflicted with leprosy, because of which people used to avoid you? You were a poor and destitute man, then Allah Almighty granted you these things?" He said, "All this wealth has come down to me from my forefathers." The angel said, "If you are lying, may Allah return you to your former state." Then the angel came to the bald man in his original form and made the same request to him, and he gave the same answer as the leper. The angel said, "If you are lying, may Allah return you to your former state." After that, the angel came to the blind man in his original form and said, "I am a poor man, all the provisions for my journey have ended, and there is no hope of fulfilling my need except from Allah Almighty. I ask you, by the One who restored your sight to you, for a goat so that I may fulfill the needs of my journey." The blind man replied, "Indeed, I was blind, and Allah Almighty granted me sight by His grace, and indeed I was poor and needy, and Allah Almighty made me wealthy. You may take as many goats as you wish. By Allah! Since you have invoked Allah, take whatever you wish; I will never stop you." The angel said, "Keep your wealth with you; this was only a test, and Allah Almighty is pleased and happy with you, and displeased with your two companions."
