Hadith 4686
اُردوEn
الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُودُ : الْعَوْنُ الْمُعِينُ رَفَدْتُهُ أَعَنْتُهُ ، تَرْكَنُوا : تَمِيلُوا ، فَلَوْلَا كَانَ : فَهَلَّا كَانَ ، أُتْرِفُوا : أُهْلِكُوا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ : شَدِيدٌ وَصَوْتٌ ضَعِيفٌ .
«الرفد المرفود» Help that is given (a favor that is bestowed). The Arabs say «رفدته», meaning I helped him. The meaning of «تركنوا» is to bend, to incline. «فلولا كان» means why not. «أترفوا» They were destroyed. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said «زفير» refers to a loud sound and «شهيق» refers to a low sound.
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَرَأَ وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ سورة هود آية 102 " .
Narrated Abu Musa: Allah's Messenger said, "Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He takes him over, He never releases him." Then he recited:-- "Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes (population of) towns in the midst of their wrong: Painful indeed, and severe is His seizure.' (11.102)

Hadith Commentary:
1.
From this hadith and the aforementioned verse, we learn of the way (sunnah) of Allah, Exalted is He, that He certainly holds the people of oppression accountable.
There may be a delay in this matter, but there is never neglect.
Therefore, those who practice oppression should always fear their end, and others should also refrain from supporting the people of oppression, as Allah, the Exalted, has stated:
"And do not incline towards those who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you. And you will have no protectors other than Allah, nor shall you be helped." ( Hud: 11:113)
2.
This verse, in its generality, includes every kind of oppressor, whether they are polytheists (mushrik) or openly sinful and immoral (fasiq wa fajir); in any case, the outcome of oppression is never good.
A wise person should abstain from it.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ If a criminal does not receive immediate punishment from Allah, it does not mean that he has been let off; rather, Allah grants respite until a specific time. Then He seizes suddenly.
➋ Granting respite to criminals is an expression of Allah’s attribute of mercy, so that they may take advantage of this respite, accept guidance, and thus, by being saved from punishment, become deserving of reward.
➌ No prophet or saint can save anyone from Allah’s punishment.
