سَمْعُهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُمْ يَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ وَلَدًا وَهُوَ يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَيُعَافِيهِمْ

His hearing is from Allah, for they attribute a child to Him, while He provides for them and grants them well-being (25).

وَلَكِنْ ثَبَتَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ أَيْضًا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَعَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : « إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ » ثُمَّ قَرَأَ : ﴿ وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

However, it is also established in the Sahih from the Messenger of Allah that he said: 'Indeed, Allah grants respite to the wrongdoer until, when He seizes him, He does not let him escape,' then he recited: 'And such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is painful and severe' (26).

وَهَكَذَا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿ وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ أَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهَا وَإِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ

And for how many a city did I prolong enjoyment while it was committing wrong. Then I seized it, and to Me is the [final] destination.
