Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Retribution of sins

Hadrat Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that one day some of us were present before the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) when he turned towards us and addressed as follows: “I seek refuge in ALLAH from five things lest you should fall their victims

1. When acts of immorality will be committed openly among people then they will be involved in plague and will be overtaken by such other diseases which their elders would not have witnessed.
2. When people will take to short weighing and short measuring, they will be afflicted by famine and short supply in addition to tyranny of their ruler.
3. Never did any people stop paying Zakah that the bounty of rain was stopped for them (so much so that) had there been no animal life, there would have been no rains at all.
4. Never did any people break their covenant that ALLAH gave authority over them to their enemy from another nations who took away their properties by force. [lbn Majah]

Hadrat Abu Darda (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “ALLAH (the Almighty) says, I am the Master of kings, their hearts are in My hand and when My servants follow My commands, then I return their hearts filled with mercy and compassion, but when My servants indulge in acts of disobedience, then I return their hearts filled with anger and oppression so that they perpetrate severe punishment on their subjects”. [Abu Noaim]
