Anon, yes, for maaser peiros we are allowed to test Hakadosh baruch Hu. The question is for maaser kesafim in chutz la’aretz. Clearly Hashem rewards those who give tzedakah. But that reward may be in the next world, or in this world in the form of something besides wealth. the person in the story I referenced was told by Rav Scheinberg that either he will get it back or he was mechuyav misa and this was in place of that. He’s still not rich, but he’s happy to be alive.
