The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if Allah wills good for any of His believing servants, He afflicts him in himself and his property and family, as affliction makes a believer resort to Allah Almighty and turn to Him in supplication, which causes his sins to be eliminated and his rank elevated.

• The believer is subject to all kinds of afflictions.
• Affliction may signify Allah's love for His servant to raise his degree, elevate his rank, and expiate for his sin.
• The Hadīth urges us to be patient during disasters and avoid impatience.
