قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يُكَفِّرُهَا ابْتَلَاهُ بِالْحُزْنِ لِيُكَفِّرَهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ismail Bin Ibrahim, from Al Hakam Bin Uteyba who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the sins of the servant are numerous and there does not happen to be with him from the deeds what would expiate these, He<sup>azwj</sup> would Try him by the grief in order to expiate those (sins)’.
