Before we began, let's first understand the literal meaning of Hadith, which is to tell, narrate or report a happening from traditions whose narrative records have been forwarded to generation after generation without a change of word. Following is the hadith of Imam Ali from Dars-e-Aqhlaaq meaning lessons of ethics/character in conduct' that I want you to read and add benefiting qualities to your life.
A man appeared before Imam Ali (A.S.) & asked his heartfelt with joined hands, 'O Ali! Why do bad times come?'
Imam Ali (A.S.) worded, 'Bad times are ascribed to bad decisions, bad habits. However, when it comes, it brings the gift of Allah along.'
The Man asked, 'How come bad times be giftful and that too from Allah?'
Imam Ali (A.S.) replied, 'Bad time is a mirror of recognizance to humans from Allah. When a man is happy, he can never determine who's his own among outsiders and who's an outsider among his own. But when the time changes, it unmasks reality.

I heard from the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), when bad times arrive, it unmasks the true face of family and friends so that the man can identify them, & when the good times come, it unmasks the man so that they can identify him.
