Do people think they will not be tested?

Surah Al-Ankaboot

"Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe,'' and will not be tested." [29:2]
- This is a rebuke in the form of a question, meaning that Allah will inevitably test His believing servants according to their level of faith, as it recorded in the authentic Hadith:
- "The people most severly tested are the Prophets, then the righteous, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested in accordance with the degree of his religious commitment; the stonger his religious commitment, the stronger his test."
And Allah says:
"Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, "When (will come) the help of Allah'' Yes! Certainly, the help of Allah is near!" [2:214] 
May Allah make us patient in our tests, and may we gain immense reward through them, ameen.
