What is the authenticity of the the saying: "Indeed, there are sins that nothing expiates but worries," and what is the authenticity of attributing it as a mawquf narration, and is the mentioned interpretation of it correct and permissible to propagate?
The wording: "Indeed, there are sins that nothing expiates except sorrows" has not been authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace be upon him. However, a similar wording has been reported: "Indeed, there are sins that are not expiated by prayer, nor fasting, nor Hajj, nor ." They asked, "Then what expiates them, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Worries in seeking a livelihood." This narration has a weak chain of transmission. It is authentically established in narrations that worries and sorrows in general expiate sins, such as the Prophet's saying, peace be upon him: "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were a thorn that pricks him, but Allah expiates some of his sins thereby."
