170 – Mujahid ibn Musa related to us; Ismaʿil ibn ʿUlayyah related to us, from Layth, from al-Hakam, who said: “When a servant’s sins grow numerous and he has no deeds capable of wiping them away, Allah afflicts him with sorrow so that it may expiate those sins for him.”
١٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: «إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُ الْعَبْدِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يُكَفِّرُهَا عَنْهُ، ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ بِالْحُزْنِ لِيُكَفِّرَهَا عَنْهُ»
