Prophetic Traditions

عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ

How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for all his affairs are good—and this is only for the believer. If something good happens, he is grateful, and that is good for him. If something bad happens, he is patient, and that is good for him.

Al-Hakim's wisdom ensures that everything in a believer's life is ultimately good.

Suhaib رضي الله عنه·Sahih Muslim 2999
