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]? Will we be punished for every bad deed we do? There Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿMay Allah forgive you, O Abu Bakr, do you not fall sick? Do you not get exhausted? Do you not feel sad? 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

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاحُ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} [النساء 123] فَكُلُّ سُوءٍ عَمِلْنَاهُ جُزِينَا بِهِ قَالَ «غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ» قَالَهُ ثَلَاثًا «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَمْرَضُ أَلَسْتَ تَحْزَنُ أَلَسْتَ تَنْصَبُ أَلَسْتَ تُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَهُوَ مَا تُجْزَوْنَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا»

[Machine] It was narrated by Abu Bakr al-Siddiq that he said, "O Messenger of Allah, how is righteousness after this verse 'Whosoever does evil will be recompensed for it'?" He replied, "May Allah have mercy on you, O Abu Bakr! Don't you get sick? Don't you face difficulties? Don't misfortunes befall you? That is how you will be recompensed."  

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاحُ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ} فَقَالَ «رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَمْرَضُ؟ أَلَسْتَ تَنْصَبُ؟ أَلَسْتَ يُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ؟ فَذَاكَ مَا تُجْزَوْنَ بِهِ»
