Allah puts his servants through in this world to cleanse them before their final accounting

tirmidhi:2396Qutaybah > al-Layth > Yazīd b. Abū Ḥabīb > Saʿd b. Sinān > Anas

"When Allah wants good for his slave, He hastens his punishment in the world. And when He wants bad for His slave, He withholds his sins from him until he appears before Him on the Day of Judgement."

And with this (same) chain, (it was reported) from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Indeed greater reward comes with greater trial. And indeed, when Allah loves a people He subjects them to trials, so whoever is content, then for him is pleasure, and whoever is discontent, then for him is wrath."  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Gharīb in this particular context.
الترمذي:٢٣٩٦حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدِهِ الْخَيْرَ عَجَّلَ لَهُ الْعُقُوبَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدِهِ الشَّرَّ أَمْسَكَ عَنْهُ بِذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى يُوَفَّى بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ۔»

وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِنَّ عِظَمَ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلاَءِ۔ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلاَهُمْ۔ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا، وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السَّخَطُ۔»  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ

Gain contentment and attract others by making the Hereafter your greatest concern

suyuti:12830aAbū Dardāʾ

Free yourselves from the worries of the world as much as you can. For indeed, whoever makes the world his greatest concern, Allah will scatter his affairs and place his poverty in front of his eyes. And whoever makes the Hereafter his greatest concern, Allah will collect his affairs and place contentment in his heart. No servant ˹of Allah˺ turns to Allah with his heart except that Allah turns the hearts of the believers towards him in love and mercy, and Allah will hasten every good thing for him.  

السيوطي:١٢٨٣٠aأبو درداء

"تَفَرَّغُوا مِنْ هُمُومِ الدُّنْيَا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ؛ فَإِنَّهُ مَن كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّهِ أَفْشَا اللَّه ضَيْعَتَهُ، وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ۔ وَمَنْ كَانَتِ الآخِرةُ أَكْبَرَ هِمِّهِ جَمَعَ اللَّه -تعالى- لَهُ أَمْرَهُ، وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ، وَمَا أَقْبَلَ عَبْدٌ بِقلْبِهِ إِلَى اللَّه إِلا جَعَلَ اللَّه قُلُوبَ الْمُؤمِنِين تَفِدُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْوُدِّ وَالرَّحْمَةِ، وَكَانَ اللَّه بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ إِلَيْهِ أَسْرَعَ".

The statement of the servant ˹of Allah˺: "Allāhu Akbar (Allah is Greater)" is better than this world and what is in it.

قَوْلُ الْعَبْدِ (اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ) خيرٌ من الدنيا وما فيها۔
