Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11114 — Reports on the reward for fever
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 Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the verse of the Noble Qur'an "Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it" [al-Nisa: 123] was revealed, it weighed very heavily on the Muslims and distressed them greatly. They came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and complained, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Stay in the middle between excess and shortfall, and keep to what is right. Every hardship that befalls a Muslim is an expiation for him, even a mishap that strikes him and a thorn that pricks him."
