Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا ابْتَلَى اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ الْمُسْلِمَ بِبَلَاءٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ اكْتُبْ لَهُ صَالِحَ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ فَإِنْ شَفَاهُ غَسَلَهُ وَطَهَّرَهُ وَإِنْ قَبَضَهُ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَرَحِمَهُ.
English Translation
Hasan and 'Affan narrated to us, both saying: Hammad ibn Salama narrated to us, from Sinan ibn Rabi'a, from Anas—'Affan said in his hadith: Abu Rabi'a informed us, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When Allah afflicts the Muslim servant with an affliction in his body, Allah says: 'Write for him the good deeds he used to do'; then if He cures him, He washes him and purifies him, and if He takes him, He forgives him and has mercy on him."
