"Whoever does evil will be requited for it", and when this was conveyed to the Muslims they were greatly perturbed. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Be moderate and stand firm in trouble that falls to the lot of a Muslim (as that) is an expiation for him; even stumbling on the path or the pricking of a thorn (are an expiation for him). Muslim said that 'Umar b. Abd al-Rahman Muhaisin was from amongst the people of Mecca.  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ { مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} بَلَغَتْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَبْلَغًا شَدِيدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَفِي كُلِّ مَا يُصَابُ بِهِ الْمُسْلِمُ كَفَّارَةٌ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةِ يُنْكَبُهَا أَوِ الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ هُوَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْصِنٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ  

"When the following was revealed: 'Whoever works evil will have the recompense of it... (4:123)' That worried the Muslims, so they complained about that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: "Seek closeness and be steadfast, and in all that afflicts the believer there is atonement, even a thorn that pricks him, and the hardship he suffers."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْْ (مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ ) شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا وَفِي كُلِّ مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ كَفَّارَةٌ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا أَوِ النَّكْبَةِ يُنْكَبُهَا  

[Machine] When the verse "It is not according to your desires, nor according to the desires of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does evil, will have the recompense thereof" [Quran 4:123] was revealed, it caused distress for the Muslims. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about it. He replied, "Stay close to righteousness and adhere to it, for every affliction that a person faces is an expiation for their sins, even a thorn that pricks them."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} [النساء 123] شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ «قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَفِي كُلِّ مَا يُصَابُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ كَفَّارَةٌ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةُ يُنْكَبُهَا وَالشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا»  

[Machine] "When the verse 'Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it' [Quran 4:123] was revealed, it caused distress among the Muslims. They mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he said: 'Come closer, be on the right track, and take good tidings. Indeed, every affliction that befalls a Muslim is an expiation for his sins, even if it is as minor as a thorn that pricks him or a calamity that affects him.'"  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} [النساء 123] شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَذَكَرُوهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَصَابَ الْمُسْلِمَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا أَوِ النَّكْبَةُ يُنْكَبُهَا
