Abu Hurairah reported,

reported that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say:There were three men among the Children of Israil, a leper, a bald man, and a blind man. Allah wished to test them, so He sent an angel to them.The angel came to the leper and asked, "What would you most like to have?"He replied, "A fine complexion and beautiful skin, and to be rid of this condition that has made people find me repulsive."The angel wiped him, and his condition vanished. He was given a fine complexion and beautiful skin.The angel then asked, "What kind of wealth would you most like to have?"He answered, "Camels," or perhaps he said "cattle." The narrator was uncertain about this, that one of the two, the leper or the bald man, said camels and the other said cattle.He was given a pregnant she-camel, and the angel said, "May Allah bless it for you."Then the angel came to the bald man and asked, "What would you most like to have?"He replied, "Beautiful hair, and to be rid of this condition that has made people find me repulsive."The angel wiped him, and his condition vanished. He was given beautiful hair.The angel asked, "What kind of wealth would you most like to have?"He answered, "Cattle."So the angel gave him a pregnant cow and said, "May Allah bless it for you."Then the angel came to the blind man and asked, "What would you most like to have?"He replied, "That Allah restore my sight so I may see people."The angel wiped him, and Allah restored his sight.The angel asked, "What kind of wealth would you most like to have?"He answered, "Sheep."So the angel gave him a pregnant ewe.The camels and cattle multiplied and the sheep produced young, until the first man came to own a valley full of camels, the second a valley full of cattle, and the third a valley full of sheep.Then the angel returned to the former leper in his original appearance and form and said, "I am a poor man whose means have been cut off during my journey. Today I have no one to turn to but Allah, and then you. I ask you, by the One who gave you your fine complexion, beautiful skin, and wealth, for a camel by which I may continue my journey."The man replied, "I have many obligations."The angel said, "I feel I know you. Were you not the leper whom people found repulsive, a poor man to whom Allah then granted wealth?"He retorted, "I inherited this wealth through generations of ancestors."The angel said, "If you are lying, may Allah return you to what you were."Then the angel came to the former bald man in his original appearance and form and said to him what he had said to the first. The man responded just as the first had responded.The angel said, "If you are lying, may Allah return you to what you were."Then the angel came to the formerly blind man in his original appearance and said, "I am a poor man and a traveler whose means have been cut off during my journey. Today I have no one to turn to but Allah, and then you. I ask you, by the One who restored your sight, for a sheep by which I may continue my journey."The man replied, "I was indeed blind, and Allah restored my sight. I was poor, and He made me wealthy. Take whatever you wish. By Allah, I will not begrudge you anything you take today for the sake of Allah."The angel said, "Keep your wealth. You were all only being tested. Allah is pleased with you, and displeased with your two companions."

عن أبي هريرة

رضي الله عنه حدثه أنه سمع النبي ﷺ يقول: إن ثلاثة في بني إسرائيل: أبرص وأقرع وأعمى، فأراد الله أن يبتليهم، فبعث إليهم ملكا، فأتى الأبرص فقال: أي شيء أحب إليك؟ قال: لون حسن وجلد حسن، ويذهب عني الذي قد قذرني الناس، قال: فمسحه فذهب عنه، فأعطي لونا حسنا، وجلدا حسنا، فقال: فأي المال أحب إليك؟ قال: الإبل- أو قال: البقر، هو شك في ذلك، إن الأبرص والأقرع قال أحدهما الإبل، وقال الآخر البقر- فأعطي ناقة عشراء، فقال: يبارك الله لك فيها، وأتى الأقرع فقال: أي شيء أحب إليك؟ قال: شعر حسن، ويذهب عني هذا، قد قذرني الناس، قال: فمسحه فذهب، وأعطي شعرا حسنا، قال: فأي المال أحب إليك؟ قال: البقر، قال: فأعطاه بقرة حاملا، وقال: يبارك الله فيها، وأتى الأعمى فقال: أي شيء أحب إليك؟ قال: يرد الله إلي بصري، فأبصر به الناس، قال: فمسحه فرد الله إليه بصره، قال: فأي المال أحب إليك؟ قال: الغنم، فأعطاه شاة والدا، فأنتج هذان وولد هذا، فكان لهذا واد من إبل، ولهذا واد من بقر، ولهذا واد من الغنم، ثم إنه أتى الأبرص في صورته وهيئته، فقال: رجل مسكين قد تقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ لي اليوم إلا بالله ثم بك، أسألك بالذي أعطاك اللون الحسن والجلد الحسن والمال، بعيرا أتبلغ عليه في سفري، فقال: إن الحقوق كثيرة، فقال له: كأني أعرفك، ألم تكن أبرص يقذرك الناس فقيرا فأعطاك الله؟ فقال: لقد ورثت لكابر عن كابر، فقال: إن كنت كاذبا فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت، وأتى الأقرع في صورته وهيئته، فقال له مثل ما قال لهذا، ورد عليه مثل ما رد عليه هذا، فقال: إن كنت كاذبا فصيرك الله إلى ما كنت، وأتى الأعمى في صورته، فقال: رجل مسكين وابن سبيل، وتقطعت بي الحبال في سفري، فلا بلاغ لي اليوم إلا بالله ثم بك، أسألك بالذي رد عليك بصرك شاة أتبلغ بها في سفري، فقال: لقد كنت أعمى فرد الله بصري، وفقيرا فقد أغناني، فخذ ما شئت، فوالله لا أجهدك اليوم بشيء أخذته لله، فقال: أمسك مالك، فإنما ابتليتم، فقد رضي الله عنك، وسخط على صاحبيك.
