Daily Hadith Mon 12-Sep-2011 - 13 Shawwal 1432 حديث اليوم
Patience and Perseverance
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "A Muslim, male or female, continues to remain under trial in respect of his life, property and offspring until he faces Allah, the Exalted, with no sin record".[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
We come to know from this Hadith that Muslims are special targets of trials, but a redeeming feature of these trials is that Muslims' sins are pardoned through them provided they remain firm in their Faith and patience.
