In the saying of Allaah تعالى:
﴿كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ
الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُم بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ
﴾
{Everyone is going to taste
death, and We shall test you with evil and with good by way of trial. And to Us
you will be returned} [Surah al-Anbiyaa
(21): 35]
Imaam Ibn Katheer رحمه الله said in his Tafseer:
كُلُّ
نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
(Everyone is going to
taste death,)
وَنَبْلُوكُم
بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً
(and We shall test you
with evil and with good by way of trial) meaning:
“We shall test you, sometimes with difficulties and sometimes with ease, to see
who will give thanks and who will be ungrateful, who will have patience and who
will despair.”
`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from
Ibn `Abbaas رضي الله عنهما:
وَنَبْلُوكُم
(and We shall test
you) means, We will test you,
بِالشَّرِّ
وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً
(with evil and with
good by way of trial) means: with difficulties
and with times of prosperity, with health and sickness, with richness and
poverty, with lawful and unlawful, obedience and sin, with guidance and
misguidance.
وَإِلَيْنَا
تُرْجَعُونَ
(And to Us you will be
returned) means: and We will requite you
according to your deeds.

Imaam al-Baghawi رحمه الله said:
وَنَبْلُوكُم
بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ
(and We shall test you
with evil and with good) means: we shall test
you with severity and prosperity, health and sickness, wealth and poverty. And
it is said: (you’ll be tried with) that which you like and that which you
abhor.
فِتْنَةً
(as a trial) meaning: a test to see how you thanked (Allaah) in things
which you loved, and bore patiently with things which you disliked.
وَإِلَيْنَا
تُرْجَعُونَ
(And to Us you will be
returned.)

Shaikh al-Sa`dee رحمه الله:
كُلُّ
نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ
(Everyone is going to
taste death,) and this includes the souls of all
the creation. And verily! From this cup (death), everyone is going to drink,
even if (apparently) the slave lives for long. Allaah has created His slaves
for this Dunyaa, and ordered them, and forbade them, and has tested them with
good and evil, with wealth and poverty, with glory and humiliation, with life
and death, a trial from Him تعالى to test which
one of them are best in deeds and who will be tempted (fall into error) at the
advent of the trials and who will be successful.
وَإِلَيْنَا
تُرْجَعُونَ
(And to Us you will be
returned.) We will reward you according to your
deeds; good with good, and evil with evil.
