Hadith 492
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : ”مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ ، وَلا وَصَبٍ ، وَلاهَمٍّ ، وَلا حَزَنٍ ، وَلا أَذًى ، وَلا غَمٍّ ، حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا ، إِلا كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ .“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever distress, anxiety, sorrow, grief, or pain befalls a Muslim, even if a thorn pricks him, Allah certainly forgives his sins in exchange for it."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
If a Muslim does not wail and lament over the hardship that befalls him, and instead bears it with patience while hoping for reward from Allah, then this hardship becomes an expiation for his sins and he becomes purified. However, if he panics and complains, then he is deprived of the reward.
