[Machine] The prophet ﷺ said, "Whatever hardship or affliction a Muslim goes through, it becomes a means of reward and expiation for him."  

أحمد:٢٤٢٦٤ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرًا وَكَفَّارَةً

ahmad:26208 – Rawḥ > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Mulaykah > al-Qāsim b. Muḥammad > Mirār > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Whatever harms a Muslim, whether it is a thorn or anything greater, is an expiation for his sins."  

أحمد:٢٦٢٠٨ – حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ مِرَارًا أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ شَوْكَةٍ فَمَا فَوْقَهَا فَهُوَ لَهُ كَفَّارَةٌ
