Patience and Perseverance
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Allah, the Glorious and Exalted said: `When I afflict my slave in his two dear things (i.e., his eyes), and he endures patiently, I shall compensate him for them with Jannah.".[Al-Bukhari].


Commentary:
Blindness is the greatest deprivation in the world and Allah grants its reward according to His Pleasure. For this reason patience in this case is highly meritorious. Its reward is Jannah provided the blind is enormously rich in Faith.

باب الصبر
وعَنْ أَنسٍ رضي اللَّه عنه قال : سَمِعْتُ رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يقولُ : « إنَّ اللَّه عَزَّ وجَلَّ قَالَ : إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبدِي بحبيبتَيْهِ فَصبَرَ عَوَّضْتُهُ مِنْهُمَا الْجنَّةَ » يُريدُ عينيْه ، رواه البخاريُّ .
