Arabic (Original)
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْهَادِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ يُصِيبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ تُصِيبُهُ إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا حَسَنَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً.

Yahya ibn Ghaylan told us, he said: Rishdin told us, he said: Yazid ibn Abdullah — that is, Ibn al-Had — told me, from Abu Bakr ibn al-Munkadir, from Ata' ibn Yasar, from al-Sa'ib ibn Khallad, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: that he said: "There is nothing that afflicts a believer — even a thorn that pricks him — except that Allah thereby records for him a good deed and thereby removes from him a sin."
