Through the same chain, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when a Muslim falls ill, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, reveals to His angels: O My angels, I have bound My servant with one of My bonds. If I take his soul, I will forgive him; and if I restore him to health, this body will be forgiven, pure of sins."
