“
Al-Asbagh Ibn Nubata said: I heard Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a) saying, “I will speak of the wording that every Muslim should comprehend.” He then approached us and said: Allah is too generous and glorious to punish anew the believer that He punishes in this world. Likewise, He is too generous and glorious to cancel the forgiveness that He provides for a believer in this world when He covers up his defect. God may strike a misfortune in the body, wealth, or family member. He then recited God’s saying: Whatever hardship befalls you is the result of your own deeds. God pardons many of your sins. (42:30). Before he recited the last statement, Imam Ali (‘a) contained his hands and repeated the statement three times.
