Allah Knows Best
In every situation God Most High truly Knows Best.
At-Tabarani narrated from a hadith of Anas (Allah be well-pleased with him) that the Prophet (Allah bless him and establish him in peace) said,
"Allah (`Azza wa Jall) says,
'There are some of my slaves whose iman will never be right except
through poverty
and if I were to be expansive towards them
it would ruin them.
There are some of My slaves whose iman will never be right except
through wealth
and if I were to impoverish them
it would ruin them.
There are some of My slaves whose iman will never be right except
through good health
and if I were to make them ill
it would ruin them.
There are some of My slaves whose iman would never be right except
through illness
and if I were to make them healthy
it would ruin them.
There are some of My slaves who seek to enter by a door of worship
and I prevent them from that
so that
conceit doesn't enter their hearts.
I manage the affairs of My slaves
by
My knowledge
of what is in their hearts.
I am All-Knowing,
All-Wise.'"
(Part of a long hadith narrated by At-Tabarani in 'Al-Awsat.')
