Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 20233a
"مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصِحَّ وَلَا يَسْقَمَ؟ قَالُوا: نَحْنُ، قَال: أَتُحبُّونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا كَالْحَمِير الصَّيَّالة؟، ألا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا أَصْحَابَ بَلاءٍ وأَصْحَابَ كَفَّارَاتٍ؟ فَوَالله إِنَّ اللهَ لَيبْتَلِى الْمُؤْمِنَ وَما يَبْتَلِيه إلَّا لِكَرَامَة عَلَيه، وإِنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَنْزِلَةً مَا يَبْلُغُهَا بَشَىْءٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ دُونَ أَنْ يُنْزِلَ بِهِ مِن الْبَلاءِ مَا يَبْلُغُ بِهِ تِلْكَ الْمنْزِلَةَ".

"Whoever wishes to be healthy and not sick? They said: We do. He said: Do you wish to be like the leaping donkeys? Do you not wish to be people of trials and people of expiations? By Allah, Allah tests the believer, and He does not test him except for an honour from Him. Indeed, he has with Him a station that he cannot reach by any of his deeds except that trial befalls him that brings him to that station."
