(Imaam Shafi)
"Many claim to love Allâh, but when Allâh tests them with hardship, they forget the true essence of love. No one can adhere to the love of Allâh except those who are patient and persevering (as-sâbirûn). If it were not for the test of hardship and sincerity, there would be no proof of the sincerity of a person’s love of Allâh. The one whose love of Allâh is greater, has a greater degree of patience.
He said about His beloved slave Ayyûb (AS): “…Truly We found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in Our service! Ever did he turn (to Us)!” (Sâd 38:44)"

The test of the rich is how humble they remain as they gain wealth & how grateful they are to the Almighty who is the sole Owner of all wealth.
This gratitude is displayed by increasing acts of worship, obeying commands & abstaining from prohibitions.
The humility is gauged by the attitude towards fellow human beings, the manner of spending, the ability to fight off the urge to have a say in everything, dominate & control solely due to the amount of wealth we have.
This test ends either when we become poor once again or when we die leaving behind whatever we had amassed for our heirs to fight over in most cases.
Beware of the dangers of this great test!

A man complained to al-Hasan about a drought, and he said to him: “Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.” Another man complained to him of poverty and he said to him: “Pray to Allaah to forgive you.” Another man said to him: “Pray to Allaah to bless me with a child.” He said: “Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.” Another complained to him that his garden was dry. He said to him: “Pray to Allaah for forgiveness.”
We asked him about that and he said: “This is not my personal opinion, for Allaah says in Soorat Nooh •► ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft‑Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”

All the oceans and rivers couldn't extinguish the smallest rock in Hell, but a teardrop you shed in fear of Allah could save you from it.
~ Shaykh Ahmad Musa ~
“The heart will be subjected to trial after trial, and there will appear a black stain on any heart that is affected, which will spread until the heart is completely black and sealed, as it were, so that it will not recognize any good deed or denounce any evil, except whatever suits its own desires.” (Reported by Muslim, no. 144)
Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Seek out that which benefits you, seek help only from Allah and never say you can't do it. If any adversity comes to you do not say: 'If I had only acted in such-and-such a way, it would have been such-and-such;' but instead, say: 'Allah has decreed (it) and what He willed, He has done,' for verily, (the word) ‘if’ opens the way for the work of Satan." [Sahih Muslim]"If you are on the way towards Allah, then run. If it was hard for you, then jog. If you got tired, then walk. And if you can't, then crawl, and never stop or go back." -Imam Ash-Shafi'ee rahimahullah
