And some of the predecessors said: If you see Allah continuing His blessings upon you while you are persisting in His disobediences, then beware of Him; for indeed, He is luring you with it.

And Allah the Exalted said: "And if it were not for the fact that the people would become one nation, We would have made for whoever disbelieves in the Most Merciful, roofs of silver for their houses, and stairways upon which they ascend, and for their houses, doors and couches upon which they recline, and ornaments. And if all of that is but a provision of the life of this world and the Hereafter with your Lord for the pious." [Az-Zukhruf 33-35]

And He replied, Glorified is He, to those who think this thought by saying: "So as for the human, when his Lord has enriched him and bestows honor upon him, he says, 'My Lord has honored me.' And as for when what tests him and restricts upon him his provision, he says, 'My Lord has humiliated me.' No." [Al-Fajr 15-17]

That is: not everyone who has His blessing and whose provision has expanded is honored, nor is everyone who I have tested and limited in their provision humiliated. Rather, I have tested this one with blessing, and honored that one with testing.
