JazakAllaah khayr to sister Nimra for sending us this one,
Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim who is stricken with a calamity & says – ‘Verily to Allah we belong & unto Him is our return. O Allah, reward me for my affliction & compensate me with something better’ – but Allah will compensate him with something better.” [Sahih Muslim, 918]

JazakAllaah to sister Ubaydah who sent us this one,
Al-Harith ibn Suwayd related that ‘Abdullah [ibn Mas’ud] said, “I visited the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, when he was ill and he was suffering from a very high fever. I observed, ‘You have a very high fever,’ I added, ‘Is that because you will have two rewards?’ He said, ‘Yes, there is no Muslim who is afflicted by harm but that Allah will make his errors fall away from him as the leaves of a tree fall down.'” [al-Bukhari (The Book of Patients)]
SubhanAllaah even the smallest pain is a blessing in disguise.
