YUSUFALI: Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because on the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness.
PICKTHAL: Whatever of misfortune striketh you, it is what your right hands have earned. And He forgiveth much.
SHAKIR: And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He pardons most (of your faults).
The explanation is as follows:
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
No calamity befalls the son of Adam, not even a scratch from a twig, except that it is due to some sinful act or utterance he committed.
No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that God expiates some of his sins for that.
If God wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials.
If the sins of a Muslim accumulate, and he does not have anything with which to expiate them, then God will afflict him with sadness so that He may absolve him of his sins through that
The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities but he remains patient till Godremoves his difficulties. And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till God cuts it down when He wishes."
So the verse is saying that for a Muslim, God causes him to encounter calamities and trials through which he can be purified from his sins.
ON TOP OF THAT, the verse says that even if we consider all the trials we face, they do not adequately represent the sins we have committed, because God is so Merciful that He pardons us for many of the sins we do anyway. So the trials through which God purifies us represent but a fraction of the sins we have committed.
When a person encounters trials in life, he should be happy and enthusiastic to pass them, as they are the ways through which God protects a believer from real, actual, unbearable punishment in the Hellfire after death - which He reserves for the disbelievers and for the truly wicked and rebellious.
