ذِكْرُ الِاسْتِدْلَالِ عَلَى إِرَادَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا خَيْرًا بِالْمُسْلِمِ بِتَعْجِيلِ عُقُوبَتِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا
[Machine] A man met a woman who used to commit sins during the pre-Islamic era. He started flirting with her until he reached out to touch her. She said, "Stop, for surely Allah has abolished paganism and brought Islam. So, he left her and turned away. He kept looking back at her until he accidentally hit his face on a wall. Then, he went to the Prophet ﷺ with blood flowing from his face and informed him of what had happened. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "You are a servant whom Allah intends good for." Then he said, "Verily, Allah, the Exalted, when He intends good for a servant, hastens the punishment for his sin. And when He intends evil for a servant, He keeps his sin for him until he faces it on the Day of Resurrection as if he had committed it yesterday."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَقِيَ امْرَأَةَ كَانَتْ بَغِيًّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَجَعَلَ يُلَاعِبُهَا حَتَّى بَسَطَ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ مَهْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَذْهَبَ بِالشِّرْكِ وَجَاءَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَتَرَكَهَا وَوَلَّى فَجَعَلَ يَلْتَفِتُ خَلْفَهُ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا حَتَّى أَصَابَ وَجْهُهُ حَائِطًا ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَالدَّمُ يَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَنْتَ عَبْدٌ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِكَ خَيْرًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا عَجَّلَ عُقُوبَةَ ذَنْبِهِ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ شَرًّا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ ذَنْبَهُ حَتَّى يُوَافِيَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُ عَائِرٌ»
