Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is this phrase correct, namely that perhaps Allah causes a person to fall into error so that he is reminded of his weakness and he returns to Allah through repentance and obedience?
Answer:
It is certain that some of the calamities are good for the person; he turns back to Allah and repents to Allah, and he knows his need for Allah.[Al-Baqarah 2:216]. Yes.

But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you.
وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ
