PUNISHMENT IN THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER H 43 "When Allah wants good for His worshiper He hastens his punishment in this world, and if He wants evil for him He withholds (his punishment) until He fulfills it on the Day of Resurrection." "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, also said: 'The greatness of the recompense is relevant to the greatness of the trial, and when Allah, the Exalted, loves a person, He tries him. For whosoever accepts his punishment with forbearance is His (Allah's) Pleasure, as for he who is displeased with it, there is His (Allah's) Anger." R 43 Tirmidhi with a chain up to Anas who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
43- وعن أنسٍ رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "إِذَا أَرَادَ الله بعبدِهِ الخَيرَ عَجَّلَ لَهُ العُقُوبَةَ في الدُّنْيا ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ بِعَبدِهِ الشَّرَّ أمْسَكَ عَنْهُ بذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى يُوَافِيَ بِهِ يومَ القِيَامَةِ" . وَقالَ النَّبيُّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "إنَّ عِظَمَ الجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ البَلاَءِ ، وَإنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْماً ابْتَلاَهُمْ ، فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا ، وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السُّخْطُ" رواه الترمذي ، وَقالَ: "حديث حسن" .
