RESPITE OF THE WRONGDOER H 208 "Allah respites a wrongdoer, then once He has seized him He does not let go. Then he recited: 'Such is the seizing of your Lord, when He seizes the evildoing villages. His seizing is painful, stern.'" 11:102 Koran R 208 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Musa Ash'ari who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
207- وعن أَبي موسى رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "إنَّ الله لَيُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ ، فَإِذَا أخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ" ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : ( وكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ ) [ هود : 102] مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ .
