Allah tries his servants so He can hear them praising Him
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah SWT says to the angels: "Go to My servant and pour trials upon him abundantly." They thus go to him and pour trials upon him, and he remains praising Allah. They return to Allah and say: Our Lord, we poured trials on him abundantly as You commanded us. He says, "Return to him, for I love to hear his voice."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ «انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي فَصُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْبَلَاءَ صَبًّا) فَيَأْتُونَهُ فَيَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ الْبَلَاءَ، فَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ فَيَرْجِعُونَ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا رَبَّنَا صَبَبْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْبَلَاءَ صَبًّا كَمَا أَمَرْتَنَا، فَيَقُولُ: (ارْجِعُوا فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَ صَوْتَهُ۔)»
