Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it true that if Allah loves a person, He tests him, since we always hear these phrases? Please guide us on this, Your Eminence, Shaykh Abdulaziz?
Answer:
Yes, it is mentioned in the hadith:Sahih Muslim 2637a And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are the beloved of Allah. So the test is one by which the beloved are tested to purify them, to raise their ranks, and to be an example for others so that others may be patient and follow their example. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 54:5 And in another narration: .
For this reason, Allah tested the prophets with great trials. Some of them were killed, some were harmed, and some suffered severe and prolonged illness, like Ayyub. And our Prophet was greatly harmed in Makkah and al-Madinah, and despite this, he was patient, peace and blessings be upon him.
The intended meaning: That harm befalls the people of faith and piety according to their piety and faith. Yes.
