Sunan Abi Dawud 3090 (Book 21, Hadith 2) #23380
Affliction as a Means of Attaining Rank

SUMMARY: Allah may afflict a person in their body, property or children to bring them to the rank He has previously decreed for them.

Narrated Muhammad ibn Khalid as-Sulami: on his father's authority said his grandfather reported: He was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: When Allah has previously decreed for a servant a rank which he has not attained by his action, He afflicts him in his body, or his property or his children. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Nufail added in his version: "He then enables him to endure that". The agreed version goes: "So that He may bring him to the rank previously decreed from him by Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، - قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ السُّلَمِيُّ - عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، وَكَانَتْ، لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةٌ لَمْ يَبْلُغْهَا بِعَمَلِهِ ابْتَلاَهُ اللَّهُ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي وَلَدِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ زَادَ ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ صَبَّرَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا ‏"‏ حَتَّى يُبْلِغَهُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that sometimes Allah will afflict us in our bodies, property, or children so that we can reach the rank He has already predetermined for us. It is important to remember that this is not punishment but rather an opportunity for growth and development. We must have patience and endurance during these times so that we can reach our full potential and attain the rank previously decreed from us by Allah. The hadith also teaches us to be grateful for all of our blessings even when we are going through difficult times because it could be part of His plan for us to reach greater heights than what we could have imagined before.
