Riyad as-Salihin, 914
Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I visited the Prophet ({ﷺ) while he was suffering. I said: "(O Messenger of Allah!) You suffer too much.'' He said, "Yes, I suffer as much as two men of you.'' <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
عن بن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: دخلت علي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم وهو يوعك، فمسسته، فقلت: إنك لتوعك وعكاً شديداً فقال:
إني أوعك كما يوعك رجلان منكم

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It is permissible for a man to say he is suffering from pain and illness, by way of informing, not complaining.<br>
2) The more pious a person is, the greater the affliction he suffers, so that he will obtain greater rewards.<br>
3) It is recommended to consult knowledgeable people with regard to the writing of wills, which is beneficial for the deceased and his family. This is one of the ways for deepening the bond between the scholars and lay Muslims.
