Jami at-Tirmidhi 2992 (Book 47, Hadith 44) #28641
Faith, Obedience & Burden of Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of faith and obedience to Allah, and how Allah will not burden a person beyond what they can bear.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: "When this Ayah was revealed: And whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it (2:284). Somethings entered their hearts that had not entered before. So they mentioned that to the Prophet and he said: 'Say: "We hear and we obey". So Allah put faith into their hearts and Allah Blessed and Most High revealed the Ayah: The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers (and) Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, for it is what it has earned and against it is what it has wrought".Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error (2:286)". He said: 'I have done so (as requested)'. Our Lord! Lay not upon us a burden like that which You did upon those before us. He said: 'I have done so (as requested)'. Our Lord! Put not a burden upon us greater than we have strength for. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us (2:286). He said: 'I have done so (as requested)'."

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of faith and obedience to Allah. It is narrated by Ibn 'Abbas that when an ayah was revealed in the Quran which stated that everyone will be held accountable for their actions, people were worried about this. They asked Prophet Muhammad for advice on how to deal with this situation, and he told them to say "We hear and we obey". Then another ayah was revealed which said that no one will be burdened beyond what they can bear. The Prophet then prayed for himself and his followers asking God not to burden them more than they can handle. He also asked God for forgiveness, mercy, and pardon. This hadith teaches us that we should have faith in God's plan even if it seems difficult or challenging at first because He knows best what we are capable of handling. We should also strive to obey Him as much as possible so that He may forgive us our sins and grant us mercy in return.
