Meaning of a Hadith by Hazrat Shah Wali-Ullah

Question

As Salaamu Alaikum Mufti
Please can you assist with what the below Hadith means. I read it in your Ahadith book not so long ago:
Hadhrat Shah Wali'Ullah said: journeys are a portion of punishment.
Jazakallah

zd · Answer

Hadhrat Shal Waliullaah is the compiler not sayer.
Due to the difficulties of journey it becomes like a punishment to clense the person.
