Bakkar ibn 'Abdu'l-'Aziz reported from his grandfather that the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah will defer
whatever wrong actions He wills until the Day of Rising except for tyrannical
behaviour, disobeying parents or cutting off relatives. He will punish
the one who commits those things in this world before he dies."
Mu'awiya ibn Qurra said, "I was with Ma'qil al-Muzn when he removed
something harmful from the road. Then I saw something and went over to
it. He asked. 'What made you do that, nephew?' He replied, 'I saw you do
something, so I did it.' He said, 'Nephew, you have done well. I heard
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "Whoever removes
something harmful from the road of the Muslims has a good deed written
for him. Anyone who has his good deed accepted will enter the Garden."'"
Narrated Fadala ibn 'Ubayd reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Do not ask about three:
a man who parts company
with the community, rebels the ruler and dies while he is a still a rebel.
Do not ask about him. Or a slave or slavegirl who runs away from his master.
Or a woman whose husband is absent and who has sufficient provision and
then displays her adornments to strangers and mixes freely. Do not ask
about three: a man who contends with Allah regarding His cloak. His cloak
is pride and His wrapper is His might. Also a man who doubts the command
of Allah. and someone who despairs of Allah's mercy."
