THE SICK PERSON WILL BE CREDITED FOR THE THINGS THAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE IF HE HAD BEEN HEALTHY! Imaam Bukhaari rahimahullah Chapter 228: 500. Abdullaah b. Amr said: The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said, No one is ill but that Allah will credit him with the reward the same as he was doing while healthy. 501. Anas b. Maalik said: The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said, There is no Muslim that Allaah tests in his body without Allah writing to his account, as long as he is ill, what he would have done while he was healthy. If He heals him - and I think he said, allows him to do more good deeds before he dies - and if He takes him, he is forgiven. 502. Abu Hurayra said: The fever came to the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) and said, Send me to the people whom you most prefer. So the Prophet sent it to the Ansaar. It remained with them for six days and nights. That was hard on them and he came to them in their houses and they complained to him about it. The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) entered each house and each room to make supplication for their well-being. When he returned, one of their women followed him. She said, By the One who sent you with the Truth, I am one of the Ansaar and my father is one of the Ansaar. Make supplication to Allah for me as you did for the Ansaar. He said, Whatever you wish. If you wish, I will ask Allah to heal you and if you like, you can be patient and endure and you will have the Garden. She said, I will be patient and I will not put the Garden at stake. 503. (ATH 119) Abu Hurayra said: There is no illness which afflicts me that I love better than the fever because it enters my every limb and Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will give each and every limb its portion of the reward. 504. (ATH 120) Abu Waail said: Abu Nuhayla was requested, Pray to Allah. He said, O Allah, decrease the illness, but do not decrease the reward. He was told, Pray more, Pray more. He said, O Allah, place me among those brought near (to You) and make my mother one of the houris (women of paradise). 505. Ataa b. Abi Rabaah said: Ibn Abbaas said to me, Shall I show you a woman who is one of the people of the Garden? I said, Yes. He said, This black woman came to the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) and said, I am a woman who has fits and I become uncovered. Make supplication to Allah for me. He said, If you like, you can be patient and endure and you will have the Garden. But if you like, I will ask Allah to cure you. She replied, I will be patient. She added, Since I become uncovered (during fits), ask Allah for me that I will not uncover myself. So he made supplication for her (for that). 506. (ATH 121) Ibn Jurayj said; Ataa related to me that he saw Umm Zufar, that tall and black woman, on the steps of the Kaba. Ibn Jurayj said: And Abdullaah b. Abi Mulayka narrated to me that al-Qaasim narrated to him that Aisha said to him that the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) used to say, No thorn pricks a believer nor anything worse than that, but that it is an expiation. 507. Abu Hurayra said: The Messenger of Allah (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said, There is no Muslim hurt in this world by so much as a thorn, who reckons that the reward for that is with Allah without that removing some of his sins on the Day of Rising. 508. Jaabir said: The Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم) said, There is no Muslim, man or woman, who becomes ill but that Allah removes some of their sins by it. Source: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad.
