Hadith 17118

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا هَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَارِجَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ رَاحَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ وَهَجَّرَ بِالرَّوَاحِ ، فَلَقِيَ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ ، وَالصُّنَابِحِيُّ مَعَهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَيْنَ تُرِيدَانِ يَرْحَمُكُمَا اللَّهُ ؟ قَالَا : نُرِيدُ هَاهُنَا إِلَى أَخٍ لَنَا مَرِيضٍ نَعُودُهُ ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ ، فَقَالَا لَهُ : كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ ؟ قَالَ : أَصْبَحْتُ بِنِعْمَةٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ شَدَّادٌ : أَبْشِرْ بِكَفَّارَاتِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَحَطِّ الْخَطَايَا ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، يَقُولُ : إِنِّي إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنًا ، فَحَمِدَنِي عَلَى مَا ابْتَلَيْتُهُ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقُومُ مِنْ مَضْجَعِهِ ذَلِكَ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا " . وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : " أَنَا قَيَّدْتُ عَبْدِي ، وَابْتَلَيْتُهُ ، فَأَجْرُوا لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُمْ تُجْرُونَ لَهُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ " .
Abu Ash'ath says that he set out towards the mosque of Damascus at noon, and on the way, he met Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him), and with him was Sanabihi. I asked, "May Allah have mercy on you, where are you intending to go?" He replied, "There is a brother here who is ill; we are going to visit him." So I also went along with them. When both of them reached him, they asked, "How are you?" He replied, "I am fine." Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Glad tidings to you, your sins have been atoned for and your sins forgiven, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Allah Almighty says: When I test any of My believing servants and he praises Me during his trial, then when he rises from his bed, he is as pure from his sins as the day his mother gave birth to him. And the Lord says: I have confined My servant and tested him, so write for him the reward of all those deeds which he used to do in a state of health."
