Allahu ta’ālā extends provision, He makes it abundant, for whomever He wishes of His servants, by way of a test, and He straitens, He restricts it, for him, after having extended it, that is, for whomever He wishes to try. Truly Allahu ta’ālā has knowledge of all things, among them the occasion in which [it is appropriate for Him] to extend or to straiten.
