Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ عَنْ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلَابَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ شَيْبَةَ خَازِنَ الْبَيْتِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَرَقَهُ وَجَعٌ فَجَعَلَ يَشْتَكِي وَيَتَقَلَّبُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ لَوْ فَعَلَ هَذَا بَعْضُنَا لَوَجِدْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُشَدَّدُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ يُصِيبُهُ نَكْبَةٌ شَوْكَةٌ وَلَا وَجَعٌ إِلَّا رَفَعَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ بِهَا عَنْهُ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ كَالَّذِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
English Translation
Aisha reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was struck by an ailment and began to suffer and toss on his bed. Aisha said to him: "If any of us had done this, you would have been upset with him." He said: "Indeed, the believers are tested severely. There is no believer who is afflicted by a thorn prick or any pain except that Allah the Almighty raises him a degree and removes a sin from him" — or as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said.
