ذِكْرُ تَكْفِيرِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا ذُنُوبَ الْمُسْلِمِ فِي الدُّنْيَا بِالْأَسْقَامِ وَالْأَوْجَاعِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no illness or pain that afflicts a believer except that it becomes an expiation for their sins, even a thorn that pricks them or a calamity that befalls them."  

ابن حبّان:٢٩٢٥أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ سَقَمٍ وَلَا وَجَعٍ يُصِيبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا كَانَ كَفَّارَةٌ لِذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةُ يُشَاكُهَا وَالنَّكْبَةُ يُنْكَبُهَا»
