81 – ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us; he said: Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm told us, from Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm, from Layth, from al-Ḥakam, who said: “When a man’s sins multiply and he has no good deeds sufficient to erase them, Allah afflicts him with grief so that it may expiate those sins for him.”
٨١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يَغْفِرُهَا عَنْهُ ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ بِالْحُزْنِ لِيُكَفِّرَهَا عَنْهُ»
