The trials in this world

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Jaabir Ibn Abdullaah رضي الله عنهما narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:
❝On the Day of Judgement, when the people who were tried (in this world) are given their rewards, the people who were well-off (in life), will wish that their skins had been cut off with scissors while they were in the world.❞
[Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2402) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

•۩۞۩•

Narrated Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ said:
❝If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials.❞
[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5645)]

•۩۞۩•

Anas رضي الله عنه narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said:
❝When Allaah wants good for his slave, He hastens his punishment in the world. And when He wants bad for His slave, He refrains from dealing with his sins until he appears before Him on the Day of Judgement.❞

And with this (same) chain, (it was reported) from the Prophet ﷺ who said:
❝Indeed greater reward comes with greater trial. And indeed, when Allah loves a people He subjects them to trials, so whoever is content, then for him is pleasure, and whoever is discontent, then for him is wrath.❞
[Sunan al-Tirmidhee (2396) and the wordings are his, Sunan Ibn Maajah (4031) and graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله mentioned that some of the Salaf said:
❝Were it not for the trials in this world, we would be arriving bankrupt on the Day of Judgment.❞
[Zaad al-Maaad (4/176)]
