Will the disabled enter Paradise without reckoning due to their suffering?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is established in the Quran and Sunnah that those afflicted by trials receive a great reward and a high status if they bear them with patience and hope for Allah's reward. Through the pains they endure, Allah expiates their sins. Allah does not combine two punishments for a patient believer in this world and the hereafter. He loves the patient and grants them their reward without measure. The Prophet, peace be upon him, conveyed glad tidings to them through various narrations, among which are: "No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it, even if it is the prick of a thorn," and "Calamities will continue to befall a believing man and woman concerning their self, children, and wealth, until they meet Allah with no sins on them." And whoever is afflicted with blindness and remains patient, Allah will compensate them with Paradise. This is why the righteous used to rejoice in affliction, seeking to attain a high rank. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Indeed, when Allah has decreed for a servant a status that he cannot reach by his deeds, He afflicts him in his body, or his wealth, or his children, then He makes him patient through it, until he reaches the status that Allah has decreed for him." The reward attained by the afflicted is hoped to be a cause for their entry into Paradise, especially after their sins have been expiated. However, there is no specific hadith indicating that the afflicted will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment.
