tests from Allah are a sign of His pleasure on His slave

 

إذا ابتلى الله عبده بشيء من أنواع البلايا والمحن؛ فإن رده ذلك الابتلاء والمحن إلى ربه، وجمعه عليه، وطرحه ببابه؛ فهو علامة سعادته، وإرادة الخير به {فأخذناهم بالبأساء والضراء لعلهم يتضرعون}. [ابن القيم

If Allah tests his slave with something from the different types of tests and ordeals, then he returned the test and the ordeal to his Lord, and he calls upon Him, and he surrendered at His door, then he has the indication of his Lord’s happiness and his Lord’s intention of good upon him.  {And We seized them with extreme poverty (or loss in wealth) and loss in health with calamities so that they might believe with humility.} (Surah al-An’aam:42)
