It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a man has a special lofty rank and station with Allah Almighty which he cannot reach merely through his deeds, until he is afflicted with some trial and pain in his body; and so through that trial he reaches that (appointed) rank."
Its chain is weak.
Also, Abu Bakr, in his narration from Abu Mu'awiyah, added an (unnamed) intermediary between Jabalah and Ibn Mas'ud, who had informed him (Jabalah).
