Hadith: If Allah wills good for someone, He makes him suffer from afflictions
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
«مَنْ يُرِدِ اللهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ».
[صحيح] - [رواه البخاري] - [صحيح البخاري: 5645]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"If Allah wills good for someone, He makes him suffer from afflictions."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Bukhari] - [Sahih Bukhari - 5645]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if Allah wills good for any of His believing servants, He afflicts him in himself and his property and family, as affliction makes a believer resort to Allah Almighty and turn to Him in supplication, which causes his sins to be eliminated and his rank elevated.
