Hadith on Trials: Expiation of sins for not complaining to people

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Allah Almighty said: If I put My servant to trial and he does not complain of Me to his visitors, I will release him from his captivity, then I will replace his flesh and blood with what is better, then he will resume his record of deeds anew.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا ابْتَلَيْتُ عَبْدِي الْمُؤْمِنَ فَلَمْ يَشْكُنِي إِلَى عُوَّادِهِ أَطْلَقْتُهُ مِنْ أُسَارِيَّ ثُمَّ أَبْدَلْتُهُ لَحْمًا خَيْرًا مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَدَمًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَمِهِ ثُمَّ يسْتَأْنَفُ الْعَمَلَ
