وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَهُ الْمَوْتُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : هَنِيئًا لَهُ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يُبْتَلَ بِمَرَضٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَيْحَكَ
" وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَلَاهُ بِمَرَضٍ يُكَفِّرُ بِهِ عَنْهُ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ "
It is narrated from Yahya bin Saeed that a man died during the time of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. A person said: "Wow! What a good death, there was no illness or anything." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What is he saying? How do you know that if Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, had afflicted him with some illness, He would have forgiven his sins?"
