4231. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud that the Prophet ﷺ drew a square, and a line in the middle of the square, and lines to the side of the line in the middle of the square, and a line outside the square, and he
said: "Do you know what this is?" They said: "Allāh and His Messenger know best." He said: "Man is the line in the middle, and these lines to his side are the sicknesses and problems that assail him from all places. If one misses him, another will befall him. The square is his life span, at his neck; and the line outside it is (his) hope." (Sahih)

Commentary
Troubles and problems are a must in the life of a person. Just as a poor person faces troubles, similarly a rich person, and a king also face troubles. But types of problems vary from person to person, depending on his situations.
Troubles are actually trials for a person, so at such time, he should make all his efforts to be steadfast on the right path.
