Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from one of the Mothers of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill and the pain of his illness became very severe. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) recovered somewhat, I said: If one of us (women) had suffered pain like this, I would have feared (danger) for her. At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that the believer's illness and pain are made severe so that the burden of his sins may be removed from him in return?"
Musaddad recorded it in his Musnad, and its chain is jayyid (good).
