A man of Banu Murrah (RA) narrated: I went to Kufah (where) I was informed about Bilal ibn Abu Burdah. I said, "Indeed in that is a lesson." I went to him and he was imprisoned in his house that he had got built. Everything of him had changed because of the punishment and the beating that he was getting. He had a worn out garment on him. I said, "Praise belongs to Allah, O Bilal. I had seen you pass by us holding your nose although there was no dust about. And, today, you are in this condition o( yours." He asked, "From whom are you?" I said, "I am from Banu Murrah-Ibn Abbad." He said, "Shall I not narrate to you a hadith, perhaps Allah may benefit you therefrom." I said, "Go ahead"! He said that Abu Burdah narrated on the authority of his father Abu Musa (RA) that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said," A person does not face a difficulty or something more than that or less than that but because of his sin, and that which Allah forgives is more than that." Then he recited:
"And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is for what your own hands have earned and He pardons much." (43: 30)
