Testing, Affliction and Calamities

by Shaykh Dr. Saalih As-Saalih !"#$%&

Delivered on May 20th, 2006

The Shaykh !"#$%& began by praising Allaah '()*+$,-.*/0 and sendingthe salutation and salaam upon the most noble of all Prophets and

Messengers 120%&324$,'25 , his family and followers. He then said:

All praise is due to Allaah. The Most High, the One who says:

{And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss

of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Saabiroon (the

patient). Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly, to Allaah

we belong and truly, to Him we shall return." They are those on

whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven)

from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it

is they who are the guided ones.} [Al-Baqarah 2:155157]

May the salaah and salaam of Allaah be upon His Messenger,

Muhammad 120%&324$,'25 , the one who was tried and tested withvarious types of tests and he was patient and persevered. May the salaah

and salaam of Allaah '()*+$,-.*/0 be up on his household and the nobleCompanions, who also were tested and tried, and upon the righteous


27/43

predecessors and on those who followed them in righteousness until the

Day of Resurrection.

EVERY BELIEVER WILL BE TESTED

It is clear that this life is filled with calamites, tests and trials. Every

believer will be subjected to many of these calamities, tests and trials.

Sometimes these trials are manifested in himself, sometimes in his wealth,

and sometimes with his beloved ones. These preordainments are from the

One who is All-Wise and they touch the believer in various ways and

manners. If a believer does not have the correct understanding regarding

the manner of dealing with trials and tribulations he may err seriously.This is especially true when facing difficult and burdensome calamities.

Many people are ignorant of the wisdom behind facing trials and tests.

They may not understand that Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ does not intend topunish us through tests; rather Allaah creates an opportunity to earn His

Mercy. The believer should look at the matter ofibtilah (being put to

tests) and trials through the textual proofs from the Quraan and the

authentic Sunnah of the Prophet ,-+./0-1&'!-2 , in order to stand firmlygrounded regarding these matters.

Yes, it is a test and a trial. Every day we are tested in this life. Our wealth

is a test; the spouse is a test; the children are tests; poverty, wealth, and

richness are tests and health and illness are tests. We are tested in

everything which we possess and encounter in this life and until we meet

Allaah the Most High.

Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ says in Surah al-Anbiyaa, verse 35:

!"#"$%&'()*+,-./0,1"-2(3&456/7&%&859"4!":;&$?


28/43

{Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall make a trial of you

with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned.}

[Al-Anbiyaa 21:35]

And Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ said in Surah al-Ankaboot, verses 2 -3:

!"#$%&'$()*$+,-.!"/0.123$456(!"/0$756)56(89$*$+,:$;.N",OBPHQ$

{Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We

believe," and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who

were before them. And Allaah will certainly make (it) known (thetruth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the

falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allaah knows all that

before putting them to test).}

[al-Ankaboot 29:2-3]

Therefore both the healthy and the ill are tested. The one who was healthy

did not know until he was touched by a trial, and the one who was ill did

not feel that he was being tested until he was cured. No one is safe fromthis due to his prestige or his status. This does not prevent the matter of

testing as we remember from the authentic hadeeth, narrated by al-

Bukhaaree where the Prophet ,-+./0-1&'!-2 said: The most intense interms of testing are the prophets and then the like and then the like.[1]

Amongst us there is no one who possesses the ability to reject the tests.

The faithful, patient, persevering individuals, who anticipate their reward

from Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ are the successful ones amongst the tested.Also from amongst us are those who are tested but they fail due to their

weak faith and their objection to Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ ; we seek refuge inAllaah !"#$%&'()$*+ from such a state.


29/43

May Allaahs Mercy be upon al-Fudayl bin Iyaad who said, As long as

the people are in a state of good welfare, once tested, they will return to

their realities. The believer will go to his faith and the hypocrite will go to

his hypocrisy.[2]

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PREORDAINED

Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ preordained everything for us including our

sustenance and our life spans. Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ says in Surah az-

Zukhruf, verse 32:

!"#$%&'()"*$+",-".$+"/&01"234.5"6"/&0$7489:;#".",


30/43

this is conditional upon the believers gratefulness to Allaah for His

favours and his being patient during times of trial.

It is reported in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet !"#$%&"'()*"+ said,Amazing is the affair of the believer. His affair for him is all good, and

this is for none except the believer. If he is touched by something good

and he gives thanks, then it is good for him. And if he is touched by a

calamity or hardship and he is patient then this is good for him.[3]

Allaah *,-./()01.2# stated in Surah an-Nisaa, verse 19:

!"#$%$&'"()$*+,$-./0+1$23456$7$83#$9"0:;2=>?$23,@A"B>C@{it may be that you dislike a thing through which Allaah brings a

31/43

you are a patient, then your calamity is one. But if you are not patient,

then your calamity is doubled - losing the reward and losing the beloved

one, the Hereafter (Paradise). This saying of some of the Salaf is in

relation to what Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ mentions in Surah al-Hajj, verse 11:

!"#$%"&'(")*+,#"%-"./0121&'34)5"6"3478"9/:;?@4A"*B"51C"D/9E&F?G"H4>4)B,5$!"I,>?@4A"*B"J/51 [&'?G10,\1

{And among mankind is he who worships Allaah as it were upon the

edge (i.e. in doubt): if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if

a trial befalls him he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts to disbelief

after embracing Islaam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter.That is the evident loss.} [Al-Hajj 22:11]!!

THE REWARD ASSOCIATED WITH TESTS/TRIALS

Certainly testing is a station for a while (i.e. it is temporary). It erases the

sins just as the leaves fall from a tree, as mentioned in the ahaadeeth

narrated by Abu Sa`eed Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah ,-./01234$ thatthe Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor

hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives

from a thorn, but that Allaah expiates some of his sins for that."[4] Abu

Hurairah ,-./012& also narrated that the Messenger 56+/0167&'!68 said, "If Allaah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with

trials." [5]

In a hadeeth narrated by Abdullah ibn `Umar ,-./01234$ , he said Ivisited the Prophet during his ailments and he was suffering from a high

fever. I said, "You have a high fever. Is it because you will have a double

reward for it?" He said, "Yes, for no Muslim is afflicted with any harm

except that Allaah will remove his sins as the leaves fall from a tree."[6]


32/43

Hence, the reward is affirmed regarding every type of harm or hurt,

tangible or intangible, if the believer patiently perseveres and

anticipates the reward. As Anas bin Maalik !"#$%&'( reported: Iheard Allaah's Messenger )*+$%&*,(-.*/ saying, "Allaah said, 'If Ideprive my slave of his two beloved things (i.e. his eyes) and he remains

patient, I will let him enter Paradise in compensation for them.'"[7]

Tests and trials are a means to removing sins (from the believers) and all

the children of Adam commit sins. Tests and trials may also raise ones

degree enabling one to move on to a higher level in Paradise as in the

hadeeth where Allaahs Messenger)*+$%&*,(-.*/

said, Allaah.0123(

-4526+ says to His angels when they take the soul of a persons child, Youtook the fruit of his heart. They (the angels) say, Yes. Then Allaah says,

What did My slave say (upon that)? They say, He praised you and

made istirjaa (meaning he said, Innaa lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji`oon -

To Allaah we belong and to Him we shall return). So Allaah .0123( -4526+ says, Build for My slave a house in Paradise and name it The

House of Praise.[8] This is reported by Imaam Ahmad and Shaykh al-

Albaanee graded it Hasan.

In another hadeeth reported in Saheeh Muslim:Any Muslim who is hurt

by a thorn or greater than that, Allaah .0123(-4526+ will remove a sinfrom him and elevates him a degree (raise his status) because of that.[9]

So (he is raised) degree above degrees, until he reaches his final degree in

Paradise which comes due to his patience and above that, due to the

Favour of Allaah .0123(-4526+ , as He .0123(-4526+ says in Surah az-Zumar, verse 10:!

!"#$%&$'()*$+,%-./0$%'1"2)34,5,672$8)91":$;72"$'?@{Only those who are patient shall receive their reward in full, without


33/43

reckoning.} [Az-Zumar 39:10]!Thus calamities, trials and tests are signs of love from Allaah for the

believers. They are comparable to a cure; although it may be bitter, you

accept it because it is from the one whom you love; and to Allaah belongs

the best example. As comes in the hadeeth, the Prophet !"#$%&"'()*"+ said: The magnitude of the reward is proportional to the magnitude of

the affliction. When Allaah *,-./()01.2# loves some people, He teststhem. He who is content (with Allaahs decree) will receive the Pleasure

(of Allaah *,-./()01.2# ); and he who is discontent will attain the wrath(of Allaah *,-./()01.2#(.]10 ] Related by at-Tirmidhi and Sheikh al-

Albaanee 345($% graded it Saheeh.

Imam ibn Al Qayyim said: The ibtilaa (testing) of the believer is like

medicine for him. It cures him from illness. Had the illness remained it

would destroy him or diminish his reward and level (in the hereafter). The

tests and the trials extract these illnesses from him and prepare him for

the perfect reward and the highest of degrees (in the life to come).[11]

Certainly the affliction of tests and trials is better to the believer than the

punishment of the hereafter. Certainly it is a cause for the elevation ofones rank and expiation for his sins, and therefore it is better.

In the hadeeth, Allaahs Messenger !"#$%&"'()*"+ said, If Allaahintends good for the Believer He hastens his punishment in this life and if

He intends otherwise, He withholds his punishment for his sin until he re-

compensates him for it on the Day of Resurrection.[12] Reported by at-

Tirmidhi and Sheikh al-Albaanee 345($% authenticated it. The People of

Knowledge made it clear that this is in reference to the one who is ahypocrite. Allaah *,-./()01.2# withholds the punishment from him inthis life to give him his full account on the Day of Resurrection; and we

seek refuge in Allaah from such.


34/43

IN TESTS AND TRIALS THERE ARE LESSONS

Tests and trials contain many lessons.

!1. The first lesson From the benefit of tests and trials is the influence

it has on ones tawheed (worship of Allaah), eemaan (faith) and

tawakkul reliance upon Allaah. It makes you examine the reality

that man is a weak creation without any power or strength, except in

your Lord. Therefore you resort to Him and depend on Him.

Thereupon arrogance, false pride and negligence will be removed

and you will come to know that you are really poor and in need of

your Creator, the Almighty, the Most Perfect, and so you resort toHim.

2. The second lesson Tests unravel the reality of this life. It is

clarified to be a temporal stay for enjoyment, and the perfect life is

the one which follows, wherein there is no toil, worry, fatigue or

disease. Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ stated this in Surah al-Ankaboot, verse

64.

!"#$%&'()*"'(+"(),-./0"1&)&2$3"(),4"5"6"(%7)&689&:;


35/43

life is transitional.

5. The fourth lesson We are reminded to avoid being in a state of joy

such that we feel arrogance and likewise to avoid a state of sadness

and grief such that one feels despair. Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ sates this

in Surah al-Hadeed, verses 22-23:

!"#$%&"#'"!()!*+,(-."/01(23456%789:;"4%#1(2$%?@A>B8C:4%+#1(2D(E"#'F!(+)G%.8H: $%IB8;"34O%+Q*4%#R*\(]*+D>H%+!*^8E"#_F1%^*W7F

{No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but it is

inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfooz) before

We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allaah. In

order that you may not grieve at the things over that you fail to

get, nor rejoice over that which has been given to you. And

Allaah likes not every prideful boaster.} [al-Hadeed 57:22-23]

6. The fifth lesson Trials and tests remind the person of his

shortcomings and diseases (of the heart and actions) so that he cantake preventive measures against them. Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ says in

Surah an-Nisaa verse79:

!"+#$%&"#Y"M"!()8X"?"`"/01%Z()"34OaQ(;"!"#$%&"#Y"M"!()V"-:+b%/01%Z()


36/43

37/43

{But none is granted it except those who are patient and none

is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of happiness

in the Hereafter, i.e., Paradise, and of a high moral character)

in this world.} [Fussilat 41:35]!!CONCLUSION

If the calamity befalls us and we pass it in reality (by observing the proper

manners) then we have learnt the lessons. The Salaf !"#$%&' were in amuch better state than us regarding (their handling of) tests and trials. We

have in them magnificent examples of patience, perseverance andanticipation of reward from Allaah ()*+,-./0+12 .

It is reported from `Umar !34&'56- that he used to praise Allaah ()*+,- ./0+12 for tests and trials and when asked about it he said, I was not

touched by testing except that Allaah bestowed on me four favours: that it

wasnt a test in my Deen, that it was not greater than me, that it was not

greater than what befell me, and that I was not deprived of beingcontented and patient, and that I hope for the reward from Allaah.

We should not forget that in the test there is a reward and that this cannot

be attained except with patience, and patience cannot be attained except

with a strong will and faith. We should not forget to remember Allaah and

be thankful for His favours and be patient upon His tests and trials. Let

this be a sincere and hidden matter between us and our Rabb (Lord)

()*+,-./0+12 because He Knows and He Sees and He is more Merciful tous than we and all mankind are to ourselves, so we should turn our affairto Him.

As a poet said, If you complain to the son of Adam it is as if you are

complaining to the one who has no mercy towards you. We should


38/43

remember that if we are touched by a calamity we should be thankful to

Allaah that He did not touch us with something more intense, and far

greater, and that whatever befalls us was not going to miss us and

whatever missed us was not going to befall us.

The magnitude of the reward is proportional to the magnitude of the test.

To Allaah !"#$%&'()$*+ is that which He gives and to Him is that whichHe takes. The complaints and discontent are not going to help you.

Rather, it will magnify your calamity and will cause you to miss the

reward and subject you to being held as sinful.

Let each of us remember that no matter how great the magnitude of the

calamity that may befall us, it will never reach the intensity of the calamity

which touched the entire Ummah the loss of the beloved one,

Muhammad ,-+./0-1&'!-2 , who reminded us by saying, If anyone ofyou is touched by a calamity let him remember the calamity that befell

him concerning me, for indeed it is the greatest calamity.[13] It is

reported by al-Bayhaqi and authenticated by Sheikh al-Albaanee 345&./ .

When touched by a calamity we should remember to say:!!"#$%&'()*&+!",)$!-%(./*&0,12-3456(71%'()849,):24;/"-

{Verily, along with every hardship is relief. Verily, along with every

hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one

hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).} [Ash-Sharh 94:56]

Verily with hardship there is relief and one hardship cannot beat two

reliefs as Umar !"#$%&'( stated.

you your state of wellbeing and soundness, lest we become from those
