إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي وَلَدِهِ
When Allah has decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his deeds, Allah afflicts him in his body, wealth, or children.
Abu Hurairah
Sunan Abu Dawud
Abu Dawud 3090
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 Allah expiates some of his sins for that.
Abu Said & Abu Hurairah - Sahih Bukhari & Muslim
Amazing is the affair of the believer, verily all of his affairs are good and this is not for no one except the believer. If something of good/happiness befalls him he is grateful and that is good for him. If something of harm befalls him he is patient and that is good for him.
Suhaib - Sahih Muslim
Whoever strives to be patient, Allah will make him patient. No one is given a gift better and more comprehensive than patience.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri - Sahih Bukhari & Muslim
