blessing for him”. Then the Messenger of All�h  said:

﴾Don’t complain about fever, because in truth it (by means of this
illness) All�h will remove the sins of the children of ◊dam in the
same manner as a furnace of fire removes impurities from iron﴿
605
6. Return a servant to His Lord and reminding ‘him’ of ‘his’
negligence.

Amongst the benefits of illness and calamities are the return
of a servant, who earlier had been distant from and negligent in

remembrance of All�h, to Him. This consciousness will make ‘him’
stop the committance of sins and immorality that he normally

carries out. Usually whenever a person is in a safe and sound state,

‘he’ tends to sink into acts of sin and immorality and follow his
desires. ‘He’ is busy with worldly affairs and neglectful of his Lord.

Shai†�n makes use of these opportunities to make ‘him’ neglectful
and drags ‘him’ into the mire of lust and insubordination. Because

of that All�h tries ‘him’ with certain illnesses or calamities, then

‘he’ feels weakness, contempt, and incapability before ‘his’ Lord.

605 Narrated by Muslim 2575.
