Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ قَالَ كَسَرَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ سِنَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ فَاسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ الْقُرَشِيُّ إِنَّ هَذَا دَقَّ سِنِّي قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ كَلَّا إِنَّا سَنُرْضِيهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ شَأْنَكَ بِصَاحِبِكَ وَأَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُصَابُ بِشَيْءٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ إِلَّا رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي يَعْنِي فَعَفَا عَنْهُ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq narrated to us, from Abu al-Safar. He said: A man from Quraysh broke the tooth of a man from the Ansar, so the Ansari sought justice from Mu'awiyah. The Qurashi said: "This man broke my tooth." Mu'awiyah said: "No, we will satisfy him." But when the Ansari persisted, Mu'awiyah said: "Deal with your companion as you wish." Abu al-Darda' was sitting there and said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'No Muslim is afflicted with something in his body and then gives it in charity (pardons it) except that Allah raises him by a degree and removes a sin from him thereby.'" The Ansari said: "Did you yourself hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?" He said: "Yes, my ears heard it and my heart retained it" - meaning, so the Ansari pardoned him.
