Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَال
َ قُلْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَشَدُّ بَلَاءً قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الْأَمْثَلُ فَالْأَمْثَلُ يُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِينُهُ صُلْبًا اشْتَدَّ بَلَاؤُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الْبَلَاءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ

English Translation
Mus'ab ibn Sa'd narrated from his father (رضي الله عنه) who said: 'I said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Which people are most severely tested? He said: the Prophet ﷺs, then the next best and the next best. A man is tested according to the strength of his religion. If his religion is firm, his trial is intensified; and if there is weakness in his religion, he is tested according to the strength of his religion. Trials do not cease afflicting a servant until they leave him walking on the earth with no sin upon him.'
