Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whenever a Muslim is afflicted with fatigue, chronicle illness, grief, anxiety, pain or sorrow, Allah forgives his/her sins even though the difficulty he/she is going through may be as insignificant as the prick of a thorn” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith #: 5318)
