Sahih Muslim 2574 (Book 45, Hadith 67) #13645
Troubles as Expiation for Muslims

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that even small troubles and difficulties faced by a Muslim are an expiation for them.

Abu Huraira reported that when this verse was revealed: "Whoever does evil will be requited for it", and when this was conveyed to the Muslims they were greatly perturbed. Thereupon Allah's Messenger said: Be moderate and stand firm in trouble that falls to the lot of a Muslim (as that) is an expiation for him; even stumbling on the path or the pricking of a thorn (are an expiation for him). Muslim said that 'Umar b. Abd al-Rahman Muhaisin was from amongst the people of Mecca.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْصِنٍ، شَيْخٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ قَيْسِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏{‏ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ‏}‏ بَلَغَتْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَبْلَغًا شَدِيدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ قَارِبُوا وَسَدِّدُوا فَفِي كُلِّ مَا يُصَابُ بِهِ الْمُسْلِمُ كَفَّارَةٌ حَتَّى النَّكْبَةِ يُنْكَبُهَا أَوِ الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ هُوَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَيْصِنٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ

This hadith is about how even the smallest of troubles faced by a Muslim can be seen as an expiation for them. It was narrated by Abu Huraira, who reported that when the verse “Whoever does evil will be requited for it” was revealed, the Muslims were greatly perturbed. In response to this, Allah's Messenger said that being moderate and standing firm in trouble is an expiation for a Muslim. Even stumbling on the path or pricking of a thorn can be seen as an expiation. This hadith teaches us to remain patient and steadfast in times of difficulty, knowing that Allah will reward us with good deeds if we do so.
