Is it true that when Allah loves a people He tests them?
Question:
“Is it true that Allah tests whom He loves, because we hear these kind of statements a lot?”
Answer:
“Yes, there comes in the Hadeeth that when Allah loves a servant He tests him. And the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"The people who are tried the most are the Prophets, then the righteous, then those who are like them."
Although they are Allah's beloved ones. Thus the beloved ones are tested with trials so that He (Allah) may purify them, raise their ranks and that they may be an example for others. Others would subsequently be patient; so that they may be emulated. This is why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
"The people who are tried the most are the Prophets, then those who are like them."
And in another narration: "The righteous, then those who are like them. The individual is tested according to his steadfastness (upon the religion)."
If there is strength in his religion the level of his trial is increased. That is why Allah tested the Prophets with great trials. Some were killed, some tortured, from them was he who's illness became severe and lasted for a long time like Ayub عليه السلام and our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was harmed in Makkah and Madinah a great deal but despite that he صلى الله عليه وسلم remained patient.
The point is that the people of Iman and Taqwa are afflicted with harm according to their Taqwa and Iman.”

إذا أحب الله عبداً ابتلاه فهل هذا صحيح؟
للشيخ عبد العزيز بن باز رحمه الله
هل صحيح أن من أحبه الله ابتلاه، حيث أننا سمعنا هذه العبارات دائماً؟
نعم جاء في الحديث أن الله إذا أحب عبداً ابتلاه، والنبي-صلى الله عليه وسلم- يقول: (أشد الناس بلاء الأنبياء, ثم الصالحون, ثم الأمثل فالأمثل وهم أحباب الله، فالابتلاء يبتلى به الأحباب ليمحصهم, ويرفع درجاتهم وليكونوا أسوة لغيرهم حتى يصبر غيرهم يتأسى بهم, ولهذا قال النبي-صلى الله عليه وسلم-: (أشد الناس بلاء الأنبياء, ثم الأمثل فالأمثل), وفي رواية: (الصالحون, ثم الأمثل فالأمثل يبتلى المرء على قدر دينه)، فإن كان في دينه صلابة اشدد عليه في البلاء، ولهذا ابتلى الله الأنبياء ببلايا عظيمة, منهم من قتل, ومنهم من أوذي, ومنهم من اشتد به المرض وطال كأيوب, ونبينا أوذي أذاً كثيراً في مكة وفي المدينة ومع هذا صبر- عليه الصلاة والسلام-, فالمقصود أن الأذى يقع لأهل الإيمان والتقوى على حسب تقواهم وإيمانهم
