3 – Ishaq ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: al-Husayn ibn ʿAli al-ʿIjli narrated, from Zaʾidah, from Layth, from Mujahid, from ʿAʾishah—may Allah be pleased with her—who related that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “When a servant’s sins become many and he has nothing that can expiate them, Allah tests him with sorrow so that He may erase those sins from him.”
٣ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ: ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعِجْلِيُّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ﵂، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُ الْعَبْدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ما يُكَفِّرُهَا، ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ بِالْحُزْنِ لِيُكَفِّرَهَا عَنْهُ»
