إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً عَجَّلَ لَهُ عُقُوبَتَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ سُوءاً أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ ذُنُوبَهُ حَتَّى يُوَافِيَ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Sary Bin Khalid, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Whenever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Wants good with a servant, would Hasten his Punishment to him in the world; and whenever He<sup>azwj</sup> Wants Wrath upon a servant, would Withhold (Punishment) from him for his sins until He<sup>azwj</sup> gets these to be fulfilled with on the Day of Judgment’.
