Remember that sickness expiates evil deeds and wipes out sins ======================================== Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: “When Allah wants to be good to someone, He tries him with some hardship.” Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reports that Allah’s Messenger, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: “For every misfortune, illness, anxiety, grief, or hurt that afflicts a Muslim, even the hurt caused by the pricking of a thorn – Allah removes some of his sins.” Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I visited the Messenger of Allah, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), while he had a fever. I exclaimed: ‘O Messenger of Allah! You have a high fever! ‘ He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘My fever is as much as two among you [might have]. ‘ I asked: ‘Is it because you have a double reward?’ He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: ‘Yes, that is right. No Muslim is afflicted with any hurt, even if it is no more than the pricking of a thorn, but Allah wipes off his sins because of it and his sins fall away from him as leaves fall from a tree‘.” Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Noble Prophet, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), remarked: ‘The example of a believer is like a fresh tender plant; from whichever direction the wind blows, it bends the plant. But when the wind dies down, it straightens up again. (Similarly a believer is tested by afflictions to strengthen his faith and heart, and he remains patient and firm). And an evil person is like a pine tree which remains hard and stiff until Allah breaks it whenever He wills.” (Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 4, #1)
