عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ
Wondrous is the affair of the believer. All of his affair is good, and that is for no one except the believer. If ease comes to him, he is grateful and that is good for him. If hardship comes to him, he is patient and that is good for him.
Why it matters
It teaches a believer to read both ease and hardship through worship instead of panic.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5641, Sahih Muslim 2573
Narrator: Abu Saeed al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah
مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلاَ وَصَبٍ وَلاَ هَمٍّ وَلاَ حُزْنٍ وَلاَ أَذًى وَلاَ غَمٍّ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا إِلاَّ كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ
No fatigue, disease, worry, sadness, hurt, or distress befalls a Muslim, not even the prick of a thorn, except that Allah expiates some of his sins through it.
Why it matters
It gives meaning to pain without denying the reality of pain.

Jami at-Tirmidhi 2398
Narrator: Sad ibn Abi Waqqas
الأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الأَمْثَلُ فَالأَمْثَلُ فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِينُهُ صُلْبًا اشْتَدَّ بَلاَؤُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ
The Prophets are tested most severely, then those nearest to them, then those nearest to them. A person is tested according to his religion. If his religion is firm, his trial is more severe; if there is weakness in his religion, he is tested according to his religion. Trials continue with a servant until he walks the earth without sin.
Why it matters
It reframes severe trials as something that can accompany serious faith rather than contradict it.

Narrator: Abu Hurayrah
مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ
If Allah wants good for someone, He afflicts him with trials.
Why it matters
It refuses the idea that every hardship means rejection. Sometimes it is a path of divine good.

Sunan Ibn Majah 4031
Narrator: Anas ibn Malik
عِظَمُ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلاءِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلاهُمْ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ
The greatness of reward comes with the greatness of trial. When Allah loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is pleased will have His pleasure, and whoever is displeased will have His displeasure.
Why it matters
It links trials to rank and response. The test is not only what happens, but how the servant meets it.
