Hadith 21:220

Ubaydah ibn Humayd narrated to us, from Anas, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, entered upon a sick man who was like a plucked chick due to the exhaustion [of his illness]. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to him: "Were you supplicating to Allah for anything?" He said: "I used to say: 'O Allah, whatever You are going to punish me with in the Hereafter, hasten it for me in this world.'" He said: So the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Why did you not say: 'O Allah, give us in this world good and in the Hereafter good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire'?" He said: So he supplicated to Allah, and He healed him.

حدثنا عبيدة بن حميد عن أنس قال دخل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على مريض كأنه فرخ منتوف من الجهد فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم هل كنت تدعو الله بشيء قال كنت أقول اللهم ما كنت معاقبي به في الآخرة فعجله لي في الدنيا قال فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ألا قلت اللهم آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار قال فدعا الله فشفاه
