Ghatif ibn al-Harith said that a man came to Abu 'Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah while he was in pain and asked, "What is the reward of the amir?" Abu 'Ubayda said, "Do you know that for which you will be rewarded?" The man replied, "We will be rewarded for things which happen to us which we dislike." Abu 'Ubayda said, "Rather you will be rewarded for what you spend in the Cause of Allah and what is spent on you. Then there is a reckoning for all parts of the saddle, even the horse's bridle. Allah will remove your errors from you for the sake of this fatigue which has afflicted your bodies."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَهُوَ وَجِعٌ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَمْسَى أَجْرُ الأَمِيرِ؟ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ فِيمَا تُؤْجَرُونَ بِهِ؟ فَقَالَ بِمَا يُصِيبُنَا فِيمَا نَكْرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا تُؤْجَرُونَ بِمَا أَنْفَقْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَاسْتُنْفِقَ لَكُمْ ثُمَّ عَدَّ أَدَاةَ الرَّحْلِ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ عِذَارَ الْبِرْذَوْنِ وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا الْوَصَبَ الَّذِي يُصِيبُكُمْ فِي أَجْسَادِكُمْ يُكَفِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ خَطَايَاكُمْ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A Muslim does not encounter fatigue, tiredness, concern, sorrow, injury or grief, or even a thorn which pricks him without Allah expiating his errors for him by that."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلاَ وَصَبٍ وَلاَّهَمٍّ وَلاَ حَزَنٍ وَلاَ أَذًى وَلاَ غَمٍّ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا إِلاَّ كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ  

'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sa'id reported that his father said, "I waswith Salman when he visited a sick person in Kinda. When he went in, he said, 'Good news! Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a restoration, whereas the illness of the corrupt person is like a camel whose people hobble it and the let it go. It does not know why it was hobbled or released.'"  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ وَعَادَ مَرِيضًا فِي كِنْدَةَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَفَّارَةً وَمُسْتَعْتَبًا وَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْفَاجِرِ كَالْبَعِيرِ عَقَلَهُ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوهُ فَلاَ يَدْرِي لِمَ عُقِلَ وَلِمَ أُرْسِلَ  

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Affliction will continue to trouble the believers, men and women, in their bodies, their families, and their property until they meet Allah Almighty purified of every wrong action."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَزَالُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْمُؤْمِنِ وَالْمُؤْمِنَةِ فِي جَسَدِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ حدثنا محمد بن عبيد قال حدثنا عمر بن طلحة عن محمد بن عمرو مثله وزاد (في ولده)  

Abu Hurayra said, "A bedouin came and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked, 'Has Umm Mildam (fever) got hold of you?' 'What is Umm Mildam?' he asked. He said, 'The heat between the skin and the flesh.' The bedouin said, 'No.' He asked, 'Have you got a headache?' 'What is headache?' the man asked. He replied, 'A wind which appears in the head and beats the veins.' 'No,' he said, When he stood up, he said, 'Whoever wants to look at a man who is one of the people of the Fire,' i.e. 'let them look at that man.'"  

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ هَلْ أَخَذَتْكَ أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟ قَالَ وَمَا أُمُّ مِلْدَمٍ؟ قَالَ حَرٌّ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَهَلْ صُدِعْتَ؟ قَالَ وَمَا الصُّدَاعُ؟ قَالَ رِيحٌ تَعْتَرِضُ فِي الرَّأْسِ تَضْرِبُ الْعُرُوقَ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ أَيْ فَلْيَنْظُرْهُ
