Question:
This man asks, Shaykh, and says: I am confused about combining the texts that show the believer lives a good and happy life in this world, and the texts that show that the believer is tested in this life.
Answer:
Yes, this is better for him. His trial, if he is patient, is better for him. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

Answer:
Yes, this is better for him. His trial, if he is patient, is better for him. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are wonderful for him. If good befalls him, he is grateful for it, and that is good for him. If bad befalls him, he is patient with it, and that is good for him. And that is not the case for anyone but the believer.
عجبا لأمر المؤمن إن أمره كله له عجب، إن أصابته سراء شكر عليها فأجر، وإن أصابته ضراء صبر عليها فأجر، وليس ذلك إلا للمؤمن.
