The Prophet ﷺ said:
“When a person does not have enough good deeds to reach a certain level in Jannah, but Allah wants him to attain that level, then Allah tests him and puts him through difficult trials so that Allah may make him reach that level (in Jannah).”

“Lofty ranks cannot be reached except with trials.”
[Majmu’ al-Fataawa v25, p302]

“Whomsoever safeguards the morning and evening supplications, the supplications after the prayers, and the supplications before sleeping will be written among those who remember Allāh abundantly.”
