"إذا سبقت للعبدِ من اللهِ منزلةٌ لم يبلغها بعمله ابتلاه اللهُ في جسدِه، وفي أهله ومالِه، ثم صبَّره على ذَلك حتى ينال المنزِلَةَ التي سَبَقَتْ له من اللهِ" .  

[حم] أحمد وابن سعد، [خ] البخاري في تاريخه، [د] أبو داود في رواية ابن داسة، [ع] أبو يعلى [طب] الطبرانى في الكبير والبغوى، [ق] البيهقى في السنن عن محمد بن خالد السلمى عن أبيه عن جده

[Machine] From his grandfather, who had the companionship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Indeed, when a servant attains a rank from Allah that he cannot reach with his deeds, Allah afflicts him in his body, in his wealth, and in his children. Then He endows him with patience in that until he attains the rank that Allah has predestined for him."

He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'When a servant is given a position by Allah that he cannot attain by his own actions, Allah tests him in his body, wealth, or offspring.' The son of Nufayl increased in patience upon that, until they both reached the status that Allah had predetermined for him.'"
