أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الدَّقَّاقِ بْنِ السَّمَّاكِ بِبَغْدَادَ ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْبَلَدِيُّ ثَنَا الْحَكِيمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ثَنَا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُجَرِّبُ أَحَدَكُمْ بِالْبَلَاءِ، وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ، كَمَا يُجَرِّبُ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَهَبَهُ بِالنَّارِ: (١) فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ كَالذَّهَبِ الْإِبْرِيزِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي نَجَّاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ، (٢) وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ كَالذَّهَبِ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي يَشُكُّ بَعْضَ الشَّكِّ، (٣) وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَخْرُجُ كَالذَّهَبِ الْأَسْوَدِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي قَدِ افْتُتِنَ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah tries each one of you with balāʾ (tribulations) while He is well aware of him. ˹He tries him˺ just like one of you ˹purifies˺ his gold with fire. And from among them are (1) those who come out like the gold of Ibrīz (pure gold) and are the ones whom Allah ﷻ has saved from evil deeds; and (2) from among them is the one who comes out like gold of lesser quality and such is the one whole was ˹taken˺ by some doubts, and (3) from among them is the one who comes out like blackened gold, and such is the one who has ˹experienced˺ fitnah."
