حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ , أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " عِظَمُ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلَاءِ , وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلَاهُمْ , فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا , وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ " .
´It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
There is benefit for the servant in trials.
Therefore, it is necessary to strive within the bounds of the Shariah while being content with Allah’s decree.
If a servant expresses displeasure at a calamity, then the calamity will still end at its appointed time, but the servant will be deprived of reward and will incur the displeasure of Allah.
(2)
A calamity is also a blessing from Allah, provided that one does not disobey the commands.
