Netivot Olam
And in the Midrash (Shemot Rabbah 31:3): If you lend money to My people (Exodus 22:24). That is [the understanding of] what is written: There is a grave evil that I have seen under the sun: Wealth kept for its owner to his detriment. That wealth is lost in an ill-fated matter (Ecclesiastes 5:12–13). Happy is the person who withstands his ordeal, as there is no person whom the Holy One blessed be He, does not subject to an ordeal. He tests the wealthy as to whether he will be generous to the poor. He tests the poor as to whether he is able to withstand suffering without becoming angry, as it is stated: And bring the wretched poor to your home (Isaiah 58:7). If the wealthy person withstands his ordeal and performs acts of charity, he will benefit from his wealth in this world, and the principal remains intact for him in the World to Come, and the Holy One blessed be He rescues him from the sentence of Gehenna, as it is stated: Happy is one who attends to the indigent; the Lord will deliver him in times of trouble (Psalms 41:2). If the poor person withstands his ordeal and does not rebel, he will receive a double portion in the future, as it is stated: For it is You who will deliver the poor people (Psalms 18:28). From who do you learn [this]? From Job, who was afflicted in this world, and the Holy One, blessed be He, paid him back twice, as it is stated: The Lord added to Job double of everything that he had (Job 42:10). To here [is Shemot Rabbah]. And it means to say that what the Holy One, blessed be He, gave to Job was a taste of the World to Come. And it is like they said in the first chapter of Bava Batra (15b), "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing beside them (Job 1:14), teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, gave Job a taste of the World to Come. And it appears to me that its explanation is that everything was done by itself. As the oxen would plow by themselves without any [human] toil with them [in order] to plow. Rather, they would plow by themselves. And that is a taste of the World to Come since there will be no toil of work or pain [then]. Rather, everything will be done by itself. And Rashi, may his memory be blessed, explained that the oxen would plow, and [the field] would sprout that very hour, then the donkeys would graze from what sprouted. In any event, the Holy One, blessed be He, gave Job a taste of the World to Come from the beginning. And when Job accepted [his] afflictions, He then afterwards added to Job double of everything that he had before of the taste of the World to Come. And from this, we learn that if the poor person accepts the afflictions, God, may He be blessed, gives him his reward doubled in the World to Come, like He gave Job his reward of a taste in the World to Come doubled.
