Imaam Shams ad-Deen Aboo Abdullah Muhammad bin Aboo Bakr Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said:

Whoever Allaah has created to go Jannah, it will not cease that he will be trailed with what Allaah has forbidden. The believer is made resolute and steadfast by the greatest of tests, he doesn’t cease gaining benefit from it and you will never find him complaining about what he has been afflicted with. To keep your difficulties personal to yourself and not proclaim your sorrows are from the habits of the Prophets. They did not pass away except that their bodies were exhausted with what they were tried with. So the trials you are faced with is made easy by the promise of reward and that your despair is removed because you know this, thus you have no complaints. You should always remember; whatever you are due, none can prevent and that which you are tested with is a protected for you and there is no test except that it purifies you. 

Al-Fawaaid, Pg. 32

Imaam Aboo Faraj Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abee Hasan Ibn Jawzee al-Hanbalee said:

There is nothing more difficult for those who will be questioned to attain, except patience in what has been decreed. And there is no greater pleasure for the one who has attained it.

Sayd al-Khaatir Pg. 91
