حَدَّثَنَا
بَهْزٌ , حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادٌ , عَنْ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ
أُمَيَّةَ , أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ
عَائِشَةَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَة إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ سورة البقرة آية 284 وَعَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ سورة النساء آية 123 , فَقَالَتْ : مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُمَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُمَا , فَقَالَ :
" يَا عَائِشَةُ هَذِهِ مُتَابَعَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْعَبْدَ بِمَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنَ الْحُمَّةِ وَالنَّكْبَةِ وَالشَّوْكَةِ , حَتَّى الْبِضَاعَةُ يَضَعُهَا فِي كُمِّهِ , فَيَفْقِدُهَا , فَيَفْزَعُ لَهَا , فَيَجِدُهَا فِي ضِبْنِهِ , حَتَّى إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ التِّبْرُ الْأَحْمَرُ مِنَ الْكِيرِ " .
It is narrated from Amir that he asked Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the meaning of these two verses: "Whether you disclose what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it," and that "whoever does an evil deed will be recompensed for it." She replied: Since the day I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about these verses, no one has asked me about them until today. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Aisha! What is meant by this are the successive calamities that Allah afflicts His servant with, such as being bitten by an animal, suffering pain, being pricked by a thorn, or losing something a person keeps in his sleeve and then, after searching anxiously, finds it between his sides, until the believer comes out of his sins just as a red gold nugget comes out of the furnace.
