وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: “بينما أيوب عَلَيْهِ السلام يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا، فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَرَادٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ أَيُّوبُ يحثي فى ثَوْبِهِ فَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَا أَيُّوبُ أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى؟! قَالَ:بَلَى وَعِزَّتِكَ، وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى بى عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ، ((رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيّ)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While Ayyub (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) was taking a bath, naked, a large number of gold locusts fell on him. He tried to collect them in a piece of cloth, when he heard his Rubb (Allah) calling him: 'O Ayyub ! Have I not sufficed you to care for what you see (the worldly possessions)?' Ayyub (ﷺ) said: 'Indeed by Your Power, but I can never do away with Your Blessings."' [Al- Bukhari].
