- "The magnitude of the reward is proportional to the magnitude of the trial, and when Allāh loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is content will have contentment, and whoever is displeased will have displeasure." It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī (2/64), Ibn Mājah (4031), and Abū Bakr al-Bazzār ibn Najīḥ in "The Second of His Ḥadīth" (227/2) from Saʿd ibn Sinān from Anas from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). Al-Tirmidhī said: "A good and rare ḥadīth." I say: Its chain is good; all its narrators are trustworthy, the narrators of al-Bukhārī and Muslim, except for Ibn Sinān, who is reliable but has unique narrations, as mentioned in "Taqrīb." This ḥadīth indicates an additional matter beyond what was previously mentioned, which is that trials are indeed good, and the one who endures them is beloved by Allāh, if he is patient with Allāh's trial and content with Allāh's decree. This is supported by the following ḥadīth: "I am amazed at the affair of the believer, for his affair is all good. If something he loves befalls him, he praises Allāh and it is good for him, and if something he dislikes befalls him and he is patient, it is good for him. Not everyone has an affair that is all good except the believer."
- " إن عظم الجزاء مع عظم البلاء، وإن الله إذا أحب قوما ابتلاهم، فمن رضي فله الرضا، ومن سخط فله السخط ". أخرجه الترمذي (٢ / ٦٤) وابن ماجه (٤٠٣١) وأبو بكر البزاز بن نجيح في " الثاني من حديثه " (٢٢٧ / ٢) عن سعد بن سنان عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم. وقال الترمذي: " حديث حسن غريب ". قلت: وسنده حسن، رجاله كلهم ثقات رجال الشيخين غير ابن سنان هذا وهو صدوق له أفراد كما في " التقريب ". وهذا الحديث يدل على أمر زائد على ما سبق وهو أن البلاء إنما يكون خيرا، وأن صاحبه يكون محبوبا عند الله تعالى، إذا صبر على بلاء الله تعالى، ورضي بقضاء الله ﷿. ويشهد لذلك الحديث الآتي:" عجبت لأمر المؤمن، إن أمره كله خير، إن أصابه ما يحب حمد الله وكان له خير وإن أصابه ما يكره فصبر كان له خير، وليس كل أحد أمره كله خير إلا المؤمن ".

Not everyone has an affair that is all good except the believer." It was recorded by al-Dārimī (2/318) and Aḥmad (6/16) from Ḥammād ibn Salamah, who narrated to us from Thābit from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylá from Ṣuhayb, who said: "While the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was sitting with his Companions, he laughed and said: 'Will you not ask me what makes me laugh?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What makes you laugh?' He said: 'So he mentioned it.'" I say: This chain is authentic according to the criteria of Muslim, and it has been included in his "Ṣaḥīḥ" (8/
- " عجبت لأمر المؤمن، إن أمره كله خير، إن أصابه ما يحب حمد الله وكان له خير، وإن أصابه ما يكره فصبر كان له خير، وليس كل أحد أمره كله خير إلا المؤمن".أخرجه الدارمي (٢ / ٣١٨) وأحمد (٦ / ١٦) عن حماد بن سلمة حدثنا ثابت عنعبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى عن صهيب قال:" بينا رسول الله ﷺ قاعد مع أصحابه إذ ضحك، فقال: ألاتسألوني مم أضحك؟ قالوا: يا رسول الله! ومم تضحك؟ قال: " فذكره.قلت: وهذا سند صحيح على شرط مسلم، وقد أخرج في " صحيحه " (٨ /
