S 2:249 Then when Talut left with the troops he said: Allah is testing you with a river. So he who has drunk from it is not of me and he who has not tasted it is of me except him who has scooped up a quantity with his hand. Then they drank from it except a few of them. Then when he crossed it, he and those who had believed with him, they said: We have no strength today against Jalut and his troops.

S 3:152 And Allah verified his promise to you when you kill them with his permission until when you lost heart and contended concerning the command and disobeyed after what he showed you what you love. Among you is he who wants the dunya and among you he who wants the hereafter. Then he turned you from them to test you. And he pardoned you. And Allah is a possessor of favour for the believers.
S 3:154 Then he sent down upon you after the grief security--drowsiness covering a band of you and a band whose souls distressed them, thinking of Allah other than the truth. The thought of the Jahiliyyah, saying: Do we have anything from the affair? Say: The affair, all of it, is Lah’s. They hide in themselves what they do not reveal to you. They say: If we had something from the affair we would not have been killed here. Say: Had you been in your houses those whom killing was written upon would have gone out to their beds. And that Allah might test what is in your chests and that he might purge what is in your hearts. And Allah is learned in that in the chests.

S 16:92 And do not be like the one who broke her yarn after strength into undone strands. You take your oaths as a mental defect among you because a nation has grown than a nation. Allah only tests you thereby. And he shall make clear to you on the day of resurrection what you used to differ in.

And he who was ungrateful, my lord is rich, noble.
