Hadith

43. Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When Allah intends good for His slave, He punishes him in this world, but when He intends an evil for His slave, He does not hasten to take him to task but calls him to account on the Day of Resurrection.'' [At-Tirmidhi]. Commentary: This Hadith shows that, for a Muslim, trials are also a blessing in this world because his sins are forgiven in proportion to the trials he has to face and his reward is increased with the Will of Allah. Thus, a Muslim should always be patient and contented in the event of trial because without these qualities he will not have the privilege associated with them. In fact, his impatience would increase his sins even further. [43] وعن أنسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله : « إِذَا أَرَادَ الله بعبدِهِ الخَيرَ عَجَّلَ لَهُ العُقُوبَةَ في الدُّنْيا ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبدِهِ الشَّرَّ أمْسَكَ عَنْهُ بذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى يُوَافِيَ بِهِ يومَ القِيَامَةِ » . وَقالَ النَّبيُّ : « إنَّ عِظَمَ الجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ البَلاَءِ ، وَإنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْماً ابْتَلاَهُمْ ، فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا ، وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ » . رواه الترمذي ، وَقالَ : « حديث حسن ». في هذا الحديث : الحثُّ على الصبر على ما تجري به الأَقدار ، وأَنه خيرٌ للناس في الحال والمآل ، فمن صبر فاز ، ومن سخط فاته الأَجر وثبت عليه الوِزْر ، ومضى فيه القدر
