Hadith 11114
١١١١٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: (نا) (١) ابن عيينة عن (ابن) (٢) (محيصن) (٣) عن ⦗٤٢٧⦘ محمد بن قيس بن مخرمة عن أبي هريرة قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية: ﴿مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ﴾ [النساء: ١٢٣]، شق على المسلمين وبلغ منهم (فشكوا) (٤) ذلك إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: " (قاربوا) (٥) وسددوا، وكل ما أصيب به المسلم كفارة حتى (النكبة ينكبها) (٦) والشوكة يشاكها" (٧).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that when the verse of the Holy Qur'an { مَنْ یَعْمَلْ سُوئًا یُجْزَ بِہِ } was revealed, it was very hard on the Muslims and some of them were even afflicted (with hardship). They came to the service of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and complained. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Remain between excess and deficiency, and stay on the right (path). Every hardship is an expiation for a Muslim, even a thorn that pricks him is also an expiation.
