عن أنس رضي اللّهُ عنه قال: قال رسولُ اللّهِ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «إِذَا أَرَادَ اللّهُ بعبْدِهِ خَيْرًا عجَّلَ لَهُ الْعُقُوبةَ في الدُّنْيَا، وإِذَا أَرَادَ اللّهُ بِعبدِهِ الشَّرَّ أَمسَكَ عنْهُ بذَنْبِهِ حتَّى يُوافِيَ بهِ يَومَ الْقِيامةِ». وقَالَ النبِيُّ صَلّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم: «إِنَّ عِظَمَ الْجزاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبلاءِ، وإِنَّ اللّهَ تعالى إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَومًا ابتلاهُمْ، فَمنْ رضِيَ فلَهُ الرضَى، ومَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ» رواه الترمذي وقَالَ: حديثٌ حسنٌ.
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When Allah intends good for His servant, He hastens his punishment in this world. And when Allah intends evil for His servant, He withholds from him [the punishment for] his sin until he arrives with it on the Day of Resurrection." The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said: "The greatness of the reward is proportional to the greatness of the trial. And when Allah the Most High loves a people, He tests them. Whoever is content shall have [Allah's] pleasure, and whoever is discontent shall have [Allah's] displeasure." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, who said: It is a good (hasan) hadith.

يُبتلى الناس على حسب دينهم. الصبر على المصائب والأمراض فيه تطهير للذنوب. من علامات حب اللّه للعبد الصالح ابتلاؤه في الدنيا حتّى يلقاه يوم القيامة طاهرًا من الذنوب. على المؤمن أن يكون راضيًا بما ابتُلي به ولا ييأس ويسخط منه. من علامات تكفير الذنوب الصبر على البلاء.
