عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنهما عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: «مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلَا وَصَبٍ وَلَا هَمٍّ وَلَا حُزْنٍ وَلَا أَذًى وَلَا غَمٍّ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا إِلَّا كَفَّرَ اللهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ».
Imepokelewa kutoka kwa Abii Saidi Al-Khudry na kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yao- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Haumpati muislamu uchovu wala maradhi, wala msongo, wala huzuni, wala udhia, wala shida, hata mwiba unaomchoma, isipokuwa anamfutia Mwenyezi Mungu kupitia hilo makosa yake."
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri and Abu Hurayah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No fatigue, disease, sorrow, sadness, harm, or distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were a prick of a thorn, but Allah will expiate some of his sins thereby."
Kumebainishwa fadhila ya Mwenyezi Mungu kwa waja wake waumini na huruma yake kwao kwa kuwasamehe madhambi hata kwa madhara madogo yanayowasibu.
Ni lazima kwa muislamu ataraji malipo kwa Allah kwa yale yanayomsibu, na asubiri kwa dogo na kubwa, ili iwe ni sababu ya kunyanyuliwa daraja na ni kafara ya makosa.
