Musnad Ahmad 71 (Book 1, Hadith 67) #33765
The Recompense for Bad Deeds

SUMMARY: Every bad deed will be recompensed, even if it is not in the form of a physical punishment.

It was narrated that Abu Bakr bin Abi Zuhair ath-Thaqafi said: When the verse 'It will not be in accordance with your desires (Muslims), nor those of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), whosoever works evil, will have the recompense thereof' an-Nisa' 4:123 was revealed, Abu Bakr to said: O Messenger of Allah, will we receive recompense for every bad deed we do? The Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah have mercy on you, O Abu Bakr. Do you not become exhausted? Do you not feel sad? Don't calamities befall you? This is the recompense that you receive".
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏{‏لَيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلَا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ‏}‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنُجَازَى بِكُلِّ سُوءٍ نَعْمَلُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَلَسْتَ تَنْصَبُ أَلَسْتَ تَحْزَنُ أَلَسْتَ تُصِيبُكَ اللَّأْوَاءُ فَهَذَا مَا تُجْزَوْنَ بِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that every bad deed we do will be recompensed, even if it is not in the form of a physical punishment. It was narrated by Abu Bakr bin Abi Zuhair ath-Thaqafi who asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about whether they would receive recompense for every bad deed they did. The Prophet ﷺ replied that although there may not be an immediate physical punishment, people still experience negative consequences from their actions such as feeling exhausted and sad or having calamities befall them. This hadith teaches us to think twice before doing something wrong because we will always have to face some kind of consequence for our actions.
