2396. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Allāh wants good for his slave, He hastens his punishment in the world. And when He wants bad for His slave, He withholds his sins from him until he appears before Him on the Day of Judgement." (Hasan)
And with this (same) chain, (it was reported) from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Indeed the greater reward comes with the greater trial. And indeed, when Allāh loves a people He tries them, so whoever is pleased, then for him is pleasure, and whoever is angry, then for him is wrath." (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb from this route.

Commentary
When Allāh wishes someone good, He subjects him to some kind of afflictions and trials. Those afflictions and trials become expiation for his sins and provide him with an opportunity to supplicate to Allāh for forgiveness. Allāh, moreover, provides him with the means of contentment and patience, so that he does not indulge in unwelcome outbursts about those afflictions and trials.
