It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating in one of his prayers: 'Allahumma hasibni hisaban yasira' (O Allah, take an easy account of me). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is meant by an easy account? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "His record of deeds will be looked at and he will be pardoned for it. O Aishah, whoever is cross-examined in his account is ruined. And whatever hardship afflicts a believer, even a thorn that pricks him, Allah Almighty wipes out his sins in return for it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.
