حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَی وَرَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِکُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْکُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَعَنْ قَوْلِهِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوئًا يُجْزَ بِهِ فَقَالَتْ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ مُعَاتَبَةُ اللَّهِ الْعَبْدَ فِيمَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنْ الْحُمَّی وَالنَّکْبَةِ حَتَّی الْبِضَاعَةُ يَضَعُهَا فِي کُمِّ قَمِيصِهِ فَيَفْقِدُهَا فَيَفْزَعُ لَهَا حَتَّی إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ کَمَا يَخْرُجُ التِّبْرُ الْأَحْمَرُ مِنْ الْکِيرِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَائِشَةَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2991
Narrated Umayyah: that she asked 'Aishah about the saying of Allah, blessed and Most High: And whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it (2:284). And about His saying: And whoever does evil, he will be recompensed for it (4:123). She said: No one has asked me about it since I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: 'This is Allah's admonition for His slave regarding whatever he is stricken with, of fever and problems, even the item that he has in the pocket of his shirt which he loses and worries about, until the slave's sins are removed, just as the red ore is removed from the bellows.'
