English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Sufyan, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — from the Prophet ﷺ: 'A swarm of locusts made of gold was sent down upon Ayyub [Job (عليه السلام)]. He began gathering them in his garment. He was told: "O Ayyub, have We not given you enough?" He said: "Yes, my Lord — but who can be free of need from Your bounty?"'
