Sura al-Anʿām 6:53

وَكَذَٰلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولُوٓا۟ أَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مَنَّ ٱللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنۢ بَيْنِنَآ أَلَيْسَ ٱللَّـهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ

wa-ka-dhālika fatannā baʿḍahum bi-baʿḍin li-yaqūlū a-hāʾulāʾi manna allāhu ʿalayhim min bayninā a-laysa allāhu bi-aʿlama bil-shākirīna

Thus did We try some of them by comparison with others, that they should say: "Is it these then that Allah hath favoured from amongst us?" Doth not Allah know best those who are grateful?

Sura Ṭā Hā 20:40

إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ فَرَجَعْنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونًا فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِىٓ أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَٰمُوسَىٰ

idh tamshī ukhtuka fa-taqūlu hal adullukum ʿalā man yakfuluhu farajaʿnāka ila ummika kay taqarra ʿaynuhā wa-lā taḥzana wa-qatalta nafsan fa-najjaynāka mina l-ghammi wa-fatannāka futūnan fa-labithta sinīna fī ahli madyana thumma jiʾta ʿalā qadarin yā-mūsā

"Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!

Sura Ṭā Hā 20:85

قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ

qalā fa-innā qad fatannā qawmaka min baʿdika wa-aḍallahumu l-sāmiriyyu

(Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."

Sura Ṭā Hā 20:131

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

wa-lā tamuddanna ʿaynayka ilā mā mattaʿnā bihi azwājan minhum zahrata l-ḥayāti l-dunyā li-naftinahum fīhi wa-rizqu rabbika khayrun wa-abqā

Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.

Sura al-ʿAnkabūt 29:3

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱللَّـهُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا۟ وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ

wa-la-qad fatannā lladhīna min qablihim fa-la-yaʿlamanna allāhu lladhīna ṣadaqū wa-la-yaʿlamanna l-kādhibīna

We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.

Sura Ṣād 38:24

قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ ٱلْخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبْغِى بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّٰهُ فَٱسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ

qalā la-qad ẓalamaka bi-suʾāli naʿjatika ilā niʿājihi wa-inna kathīran mina l-khulaṭāʾi la-yabghī baʿḍuhum ʿalā baʿḍin illā lladhīna āmanū wa-ʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti wa-qalīlun mā hum wa-ẓanna dāwudu annamā fatannāhu fa-istaghfara rabbahu wa-kharra rākiʿan wa-anāba

(David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?"...and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in repentance).

Sura Ṣād 38:34

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا سُلَيْمَٰنَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَىٰ كُرْسِيِّهِۦ جَسَدًا ثُمَّ أَنَابَ

wa-la-qad fatannā sulaymāna wa-alqaynā ʿalā kursiyyihi jasadan thumma anāba

And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):

Sura al-Dukhān 44:17

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ

wa-la-qad fatannā qablahum qawma firʿawna wa-jāʾahum rasūlun karīmun

We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,

Sura al-Jinn 72:17

لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

li-naftinahum fīhi wa-man yuʿriḍ ʿan dhikri rabbihi yaslukhu ʿadhāban ṣaʿadan

"That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.
