Know when you have been put to trial

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه said: “True misguidance is when you allow that which you used to prohibit, and when you prevent (neglect) that which you used to allow. And beware of variegating* in the Deen of Allaah, for the Deen of Allaah is one.” [Jaami` Bayan al-`Ilm (2/933)]

*The word “Talawwun” means changing the color and “Talawwun fee-Deen” means being inconsistent and unsteady in religion.

In another narration, Hudhaifah رضي الله عنه said: “[The trials affect the hearts. If any heart accepts it, then a black spot will appear on his heart. But if any heart repels it, then a white spot will appear on his heart.] If one of you likes to know if he is has been put to trial or not, then let him see: If he considers something as Halaal (permissible) that which he used to consider it as Haraam (prohibited), then know that he has been put to trial. And if he considers something as Haraam that which he used to consider it as Halaal, then know that he has been put to trial.” [al-Mustadrak of Imaam al-Haakim (8443) and said: “It is Saheeh as per the conditions of al-Bukhaaree and Muslim” and Imaam al-Dhahabee agreed with him. The first part is from Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaibaah (37343)]
