Question:
This questioner, our brother Ibrahim Abu Hamid, has this question. He says: “Your Eminence! What are the calamities and trials that befell the Prophet of Allah, Yusuf (peace be upon him)? May Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows: The calamities that befell the Prophet of Allah, Yusuf (peace be upon him), Allah has related them to us in the Qur’an in Surat Yusuf. If you read the Qur’an, read Surat Yusuf and you will know what happened to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and so it is with the prophets. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
So the believer is tested just as the messengers were tested. Sometimes he is tested by the empowerment of enemies, sometimes by illnesses, sometimes by fear, sometimes by poverty, and so on. If the believer is patient with the trial and fears Allah, he has great good.Sunan Ibn Majah 4031Hasan (Darussalam).
And whatever worry, grief, hardship, or pain befalls the believer, even a thorn he pricks himself with, Allah expiates his sins thereby, as is authentic in the report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And in the authentic hadith:Muwatta Malik 50:7.
So the prophets are the best of creation, and a great deal of trial befell them. And it also befell our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah, on the Day of Uhud, and in other places. And he was patient and sought reward from Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is thus with the believers: upon them is patience and seeking reward, and for them is the good outcome. [Hud:49] [Ar-Rum:47]. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

If you read the Qur’an, read Surat Yusuf and you will know what happened to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and so it is with the prophets. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The prophets are the most severely tested, then the righteous, then the most righteous, then the most righteous
أشد بلاءً الأنبياء، ثم الصالحون، ثم الأمثل فالأمثلA person is tested according to the measure of his faith
يبتلى المرء على قدر دينهSo the believer is tested just as the messengers were tested. Sometimes he is tested by the empowerment of enemies, sometimes by illnesses, sometimes by fear, sometimes by poverty, and so on. If the believer is patient with the trial and fears Allah, he has great good.
The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them
إن عظم الجزاء مع عظم البلاء، وإن الله إذا أحب قومًا ابتلاهمAnd whatever worry, grief, hardship, or pain befalls the believer, even a thorn he pricks himself with, Allah expiates his sins thereby, as is authentic in the report from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And in the authentic hadith:
Allah afflicts the one for whom He desires good.
من يرد الله به خيرًا يصب منهSo the prophets are the best of creation, and a great deal of trial befell them. And it also befell our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah, on the Day of Uhud, and in other places. And he was patient and sought reward from Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So it is thus with the believers: upon them is patience and seeking reward, and for them is the good outcome.
So be patient; indeed, the [best] outcome is for the righteous.
فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ الْعاقِبَةَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَand incumbent upon Us was support of the believers.
