Divine Punishment and Good Intentions

SUMMARY: Allah punishes us in this world if He intends good for us, but if He intends evil for us, He will not take action until the Day of Resurrection.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah said, "When Allah intends good for His slave, He punishes him in this world, but when He intends an evil for His slave, He does not hasten to take him to task but calls him to account on the Day of Resurrection". At-Tirmidhi, who categorized it as Hadith Hasan.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏‏"‏إذا أراد الله بعبده خيراً عجل له العقوبة في الدنيا، وإذا أراد الله بعبده الشر أمسك عنه بذنبه حتى يوافي به يوم القيامة‏"‏‏.‏ وقال النبي ‏:‏ ‏"‏إن عظم الجزاء مع عظم البلاء، وإن الله تعالى إذا أحب قوماً ابتلاهم، فمن رضي فله الرضى، ومن سخط فله السخط‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال ‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when Allah intends good for His slave, He punishes them in this world. This punishment is a sign of His mercy and justice because it is meant to help the person improve their character and become closer to Him. On the other hand, when Allah intends an evil for His slave, He does not take action until the Day of Resurrection. This shows that Allah is patient with His slaves and gives them time to repent before taking any action against them. The hadith also teaches us about fate or destiny as it implies that whatever happens to us has been predetermined by Allah according to His wisdom and justice. It also encourages people to be patient during difficult times as they can trust that whatever happens has been decreed by Him with a purpose in mind.
