حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي
ْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَبْتَلِيهِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِبَلَاءٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ إِلَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلْمَلَكِ اكْتُبْ لَهُ صَالِحَ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ فَإِنْ شَفَاهُ اللَّهُ غَسَلَهُ وَطَهَّرَهُ وَإِنْ قَبَضَهُ غَفَرَ لَهُ وَرَحِمَهُ

English Translation
Hasan narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Abu Rabi'ah, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No servant is afflicted by Allah (عز وجل) with an affliction in his body except that Allah (عز وجل) says to the angel: Write for My servant the equivalent of what he used to do when he was healthy, for as long as he is restrained by what I have afflicted him with.'
