I was told that Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, how could we be in a good state after this verse: “It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereofʿ fan-Nisa' 4:123]?

Don't calamities befall you?ʿ He said: Of course. He said: ʿThat is the recompense you are given.ʿ  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ الصَّلاحُ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} [النساء 123] فَكُلُّ سُوءٍ عَمِلْنَا جُزِينَا بِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَمْرَضُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تَنْصَبُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تَحْزَنُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُوَ مَا تُجْزَوْنَ بِهِ  

Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, how could we be in a good state after this verse? He said: ʿMay Allah have mercy on you, O Abu Bakr. Do you not fall sick? Do you not feel sad? Don't calamities befall you? Do you not...?” He said: Of course. He said: ʿThat is for that. It was narrated that Abu Bakr ath-Thaqafi said: Abu Bakr said: O Messenger of Allah, how could we be in a good state after this verse: ʿwhosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereofʿ (an-Nisa' 4:123)?... and he narrated the same Hadeeth  

أَظُنُّهُقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ الصَّلاحُ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ؟ قَالَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَمْرَضُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تَحْزَنُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ؟ أَلَسْتَ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ بِذَاكَ  

When the verse ʿIt will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereofʿ [an-Nisa' 4:123] was revealed, Abu Bakr to said: O Messenger of Allah, will we receive recompense for every bad deed we do? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿMay Allah have mercy on you, O Abu Bakr. Do you not become exhausted? Do you not feel sad? Don't calamities befall you? This is the recompense that you receive.”  

أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنُجَازَى بِكُلِّ سُوءٍ نَعْمَلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَنْصَبُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تَحْزَنُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ؟ فَهَذَا مَا تُجْزَوْنَ بِهِ
