[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you see Allah giving the servant what he loves while he remains steadfast in his sins, then surely that is Allah luring him in. Then He recited this verse, 'So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair. So the people that committed wrong were cut off. Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds!'"
