حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ

عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ وَعَادَ مَرِيضًا فِي كِنْدَةَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَفَّارَةً وَمُسْتَعْتَبًا وَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْفَاجِرِ كَالْبَعِيرِ عَقَلَهُ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوهُ فَلاَ يَدْرِي لِمَ عُقِلَ وَلِمَ أُرْسِلَ

Translation

✧ From his father, who said: I was with Salmān when he visited a sick person in Kindah. When he entered upon him, he said, 'Rejoice, for Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a means of seeking restoration, while the illness of the wicked is like a camel that its owners have hobbled and then released; it does not know why it was hobbled or why it was released.'
