Ibn Al-Jowzee said, "If this Dunya was not a station of tests it would not be filled with sicknesses and filth. If life were not about hardship, then the Prophets and the pious would have lived the most comfortable of lives.
Nay, Adam (as) suffered test after test until he left the Dunya.
Nuh (as) cried for 300 years.
Ibrahim (as)was thrown into a pit of fire and later told to slaughter his son.
Ya'qub (as) cried until he became blind.
Musa (as) challenged Fir'own and was tested by his people.
Eeasa (as) had no provision except the morsels his disciples provided him with. And Muhammad (Sal Allahu Alayhi wa Sallam) met poverty with patience, his uncle - one of the most beloved relatives to him - was slain and mutilated and his people disbelieved in him ... and the list of Prophets and the pious goes on and on."
