Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with his face streaming with blood. He said: O Messenger of Allah! I followed a woman, and a man met me and did to me what you see. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, intends good for a servant, He hastens the punishment of his sin in this world; and when He intends evil for a servant, He holds back his sin against him until he comes before Him on the Day of Resurrection as though he were a laden caravan."
