إِذِ الْمُحَاسَبَةُ بِجَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِهِ وَالْمُنَاقَشَةُ بِهَا تُهْلِكُ صَاحِبَهَا
Because the accounting of all sins and the investigation and inquiry about them will destroy and ruin the sinner.
Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asking for this supplication in his prayer, « اللَّهُمَّ حَاسِبْنِي حِسَابَاً يَسِيرَاً » “O Allah, make my reckoning easy.” Then when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, I asked, “O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what will an easy reckoning be?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The servant’s record of deeds will be looked at and he will be pardoned (for his sins). Because, O Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), whoever is subjected to a detailed reckoning on that day will be destroyed. And whatever hardship befalls a believer, Allah, the Exalted, forgives his sins through it, even the thorn that pricks him (that too becomes an expiation for sins).” Both narrators have reported the words similarly.
