Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
quran:19:75

Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension ˹in wealth and time˺ until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment ˹in this world˺ or the Hour ˹of resurrection˺ - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."  

Say: ‘As for him who is in error (man kāna fī’l-dalālati, a conditional clause, the response to which is ˹fa’lyamdud, ‘He shall prolong’ and what follows it˺) the Compassionate One shall defer (fa’l-yamdud, functions in the sense of a predicate) him, from chastisement by ˹granting him˺ some respite, in this world, drawing him on ˹to his eventual chastisement˺ gradually, until, when they catch sight of that which they were promised, whether it be chastisement ˹in this world˺, by being killed or taken captive, or the Hour, the Resurrection that comprises Hell, they will enter it. Then they will surely know who is worse in ˹respect of˺ position and weaker in ˹respect of the number of˺ hosts’, in ˹respect of the number of˺ supporters, themselves or the believers? Their hosts will be the devils, while the hosts of the believers against them will be the angels.
القرآن:١٩:٧٥

قُلْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الضَّلَالَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ مَدًّا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ إِمَّا الْعَذَابَ وَإِمَّا السَّاعَةَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مَكَانًا وَأَضْعَفُ جُنْدًا  

{قل من كان في الضلالة} شرط جوابه {فليمدد} بمعنى الخبر أي يمد {له الرحمن مدا} في الدنيا يستدرجه {حتى إذا رأوا ما يوعدون إما العذاب} كالقتل والأسر {وإما الساعة} المشتملة على جهنم فيدخلونها {فسيعلمون من هو شر مكانا وأضعف جندا} أعوانا أهم أم المؤمنون وجندهم الشياطين وجند المؤمنين عليهم الملائكة.
