4018 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ، فَإِذَا أَخَذَهُ، لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ» ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ} [هود: 102]

Commentary

a. If Allāh does not punish an evildoer immediately, it does not mean that he has escaped from Allāh, but Allāh gives him respite until a certain time, and then seizes him suddenly. b. Giving respite to evildoers shows the mercy of Allāh. They may use this time to accept the true guidance, escape from the torment of Allāh and deserve His blessings.
