1649. CONCEALING ONE'S SICKNESS

5765.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : قالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوجلَّ : مَن مَرِضَ ثلاثاً فلَم يَشكُ إلى‏ أحَدٍ مِن عُوّادِهِ أبدَلتُهُ لَحماً خَيراً مِن لَحمِهِ ودَماً خَيراً مِن دَمهِ، فإن عافَيتُهُ عافَيتُهُ ولا ذَنبَ لَهُ، وإن قَبَضتُهُ قَبَضتُهُ إلى‏ رَحمَتي .¹

5765.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Allah Almighty has said, 'Whoever becomes sick three times and does not complain to any of his visitors, I change his flesh to flesh better than what he has and blood better than his blood. If I cure him, then I will cure him and he will have no sin, and if I take him [in death], I will take him to My Mercy.' ²

5767.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Whoever suppresses pain that he has been inflicted with for three days from people and complains to Allah instead, Allah will rightfully cure him from it.' ⁶
