adab:493

'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.'"

الأدب المفرد:٤٩٣حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ

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
