The Ordeal As A Bounty

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Allah feeds His believing servant with ordeals like a mother feeds her child milk.

The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘When Allah wants good for a people, he tries them.

Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Allah, the Exalted, brings trial to the believer like a man brings his family a gift upon his return from a trip; and He denies him this world like a doctor puts a patient on diet.

Imam al-Kazim (AS) said, ‘You will not be believers until you consider the ordeal as a bounty and ease as an affliction, for patience during an ordeal is greater than oblivion during ease.

Imam al-‘Askari (AS) said, ‘Every single ordeal contains a favor from Allah that encompasses it.
