وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُبَارَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَشْعَثِ الصَّنْعَانِيِّ، قَالَ:

إِنَّهُ رَاحَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ وَهَجَّرَ بِالرَّوَاحِ، فَلَقِيَ شَدَّادَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ وَآخَرَ مَعَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ تُرِيدَانِ، يَرْحَمُكُمَا اللهُ ؟ قَالَا: نُرِيدُ هَاهُنَا إِلَى أَخٍ لَنَا مَرِيضٍ نَعُودُهُ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمَا حَتَّى دَخَلَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، فَقَالَا لَهُ: كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ ؟ قَالَ: أَصْبَحْتُ بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ وَفَضْلِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ شَدَّادٌ: أَبْشِرْ بِكَفَّارَاتِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَحَطِّ الْخَطَايَا، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: « إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبْدًا مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنًا فَحَمِدَنِي عَلَى مَا ابْتَلَيْتُهُ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَقُومُ مَضْجَعَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا، وَيَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِنِّي أَنَا قَيَّدْتُ عَبْدِي هَذَا وَابْتَلَيْتُهُ، فَأَجْرُوا لَهُ مَا كُنْتُمْ تُجْرُونَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ

✧ He went to the mosque of Damascus in the afternoon to perform the noon prayer early, and he met Shaddad b. Aws and another man with him. He said: “Where do you two intend, may Allah have mercy on you?” They said: “We intend to go here to a sick brother of ours to visit him.” He said: He went with them until they entered upon that man. They said to him: “How are you this morning?” He said: “I have entered the morning in the blessing of Allah and His grace.” He said: Shaddad said to him: “Rejoice in the expiations of sins and the removal of errors, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: When I afflict a believing servant of Mine and he praises Me for what I have afflicted him with, then he rises from his bed that day like the day his mother gave birth to him, free from sins. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: I have bound this servant of Mine and afflicted him, so record for him what you used to record for him while he was healthy.’”
