Commentary
Though illness is expiation for the sins and a means of getting reward, it also provides an opportunity to think over one's attitude and conduct towards life. Sometimes one gets a chance to have rest from continuous physical exertion of life. In spite of all these benefits of illness one must beg Allāh ﷻ for health.
