It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was ill at night, so while lying on the bed he kept turning sides repeatedly. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "If any one of us did this, you would be displeased with them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Hardships continue to befall righteous people, and whenever a Muslim is afflicted with a thorn or something even less than that, one of his sins is forgiven and his rank is elevated."
