Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (ra) said: I said: “O Messenger of Allah, which of the people are most sorely tested?” He said: “The Prophets, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. If his religious commitment is strong, he will be tested more severely, and if his religious commitment is weak, he will be tested in accordance with his religious commitment. Calamity will keep befalling a person until he walks on the earth with no sin on him.” Reported in At-Tirmidhi.
[Reflections from this hadeeth] Not all great men and women were born great, rather through the tests and trials of life, greatness was achieved! In life you're going through a journey and you will be tested. Embrace these tests and see them as Turning Points in your life. Prepare yourself for greatness, as GREATNESS is where you're headed insha Allah. Believe in yourself. As this is the first step in order to achieve your dream, which is Jannah.

"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
i didnt mean it that way, i meant more inthe sense of Allah letting you go and not "caring" about you and not "testing" you anymore, i.e: not purifying you or increasing your patience, or bringing you closer to him because he's not giving u any test.
theres something islamic abt that..i dont know how to look it up on google, but theres soething i'll post about difficulties
Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas reported that he asked the Messenger of
Allah (SAW): “Which of the people are tested most severely?” Rasulullah
(SAW) replied: “The Prophets, then the righteous, then those who are
most like them, then those who are most like them from the people. A man
is tested according to his religious commitment. So, if his religious
practice is sound, then his testing is increased, and if his religious
practice is weak, then his testing is reduced. A servant continues to be
tested until he walks the Earth without a single sin on him.” (Ahmad,
Tirmidhi)
