حَدَّثَنَا مُوْ سَی قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُوْ عَوَا نَۃَ ،عَنْ عَبْدِالْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَیْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِا لرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعِیْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِیْھِ قَالَ: کُنْتُ مَعَ سَلْمَانؒ ، وَعَادَمَرِیْضًا فِیْ کِنْدَۃَ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَیْھِ قَالَ: أَبْشِرْ ،فَإِنَّ مَرَضَ الْمُؤْمِنِ یَجْعَلُہُ اللہُ لَہُ کَفَّارَۃً وَمُسْتَعْتَبًا ، وَإنَّ مَرَضَ الفَاجِرِ کَالْبَعِیْرِ عَقَلَہُ أَھْلُہُ ، ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوْہُ ، فٓلا یَدْرِیْ لِمَ عُقِلَ وَلِمَ أُرْسِلَ۔
الأدب المفرد · Hadith 493
. 'Abdu'r-Rahman ibn Sa'id reported that his father said, "I was with Salman when he visited a sick person in Kinda. When he went in, he said, 'Good news! Allah makes the illness of the believer an expiation for him and a restoration, whereas the illness of the corrupt person is like a camel whose people hobble it and the let it go. It doe sot know why it was hobbled or released.'"
