Muhammad bin Khalid narrates from his grandfather, who had the honor of companionship, he says: He set out to visit one of his brothers, then he also found out that he was ill, so he went to him and said: I have come to visit you, to look after you, and to give you glad tidings. He said: How did you combine all these things? I said: I set out to visit you, then I also received news of your illness, thus this coming also became a means of tending to you, and I give you glad tidings through this hadith which I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When Allah Almighty decides for a servant a rank and status with Him which the servant cannot reach by his own deeds, then Allah Almighty begins to test him through his body, or his wealth, or his children, then Allah Almighty also grants him the ability to be patient, until He makes him reach that station which has already been decided for him with Him.
