Chapter 3: The Reward of the Invalid
Muwatta Malik 1847
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that death came to a man in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. A man said, "He was fortunate," as he had died without being tried by illness. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Alas for you, what will let you know that if Allah had tried him with illness, He would have wiped out his wrong actions."
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، جَاءَهُ الْمَوْتُ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ هَنِيئًا لَهُ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يُبْتَلَ بِمَرَضٍ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" وَيْحَكَ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ ابْتَلاَهُ بِمَرَضٍ يُكَفِّرُ بِهِ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ " .
