'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sa'id reported that his father said, "I waswith Salman when he visited a sick person in Kinda. When he went in, he
said, 'Good news! Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a restoration, whereas the illness of the corrupt person is like a camel whose people hobble it and the let it go. It does not know
why it was hobbled or released.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "A Muslim does not encounter fatigue, tiredness,
concern, sorrow, injury or grief, or even a thorn which pricks him without
Allah expiating his errors for him by that."
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَدِيُّ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: لاَ يَزَالُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُؤْمِنَةِ، فِي جَسَدِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ، حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ.
حدثنا محمد بن عبيد قال: حدثنا عمر بن طلحة، عن محمد بن عمرو مثله وزاد (في ولده).
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Affliction will continue to trouble the believers,
men and women, in their bodies, their families, and their property until
they meet Allah Almighty purified of every wrong action."
Ghatif ibn al-Harith said that a man came to Abu 'Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah
while he was in pain and asked, "What is the reward of the amir?" Abu 'Ubayda
said, "Do you know that for which you will be rewarded?" The man replied,
"We will be rewarded for things which happen to us which we dislike." Abu
'Ubayda said, "Rather you will be rewarded for what you spend in the Cause
of Allah and what is spent on you. Then there is a reckoning for all parts
of the saddle, even the horse's bridle. Allah will remove your errors from
you for the sake of this fatigue which has afflicted your bodies."
