"يَقُولُ اللَّه ﷻ: مَا غَضِبْتُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ غَضَبِى عَلَى عَبْدٍ أَتَى مَعْصِيَةً فَتَعَاظَمَهَا فِى جَنْبِ عَفْوِى، فَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُعَجِّلًا الْعُقُوبَةَ أَوْ كَانَتِ الْعَجَلَةُ مِنْ شَأنِى لَعَجَّلْتُهَا للْقَانِطِينَ مِنْ رَحْمَتِى، وَلَو لَمْ أَرَحَمْ عِبَادِى إِلَّا مِنْ خَوْفِهِمْ مِنَ الْوُقُوفِ بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ؛ لَشَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ، وَجَعَلْتُ ثَوَابَهُمْ مِنْهُ الأَمْنَ لِمَا خَافُوا".

"Allah ﷻ says: I have never been angry with anyone as I am angry with a servant who commits a sin and then magnifies it in the face of My pardon. If I were to hasten punishment, or if haste were part of My nature, I would have hastened it for those who despair of My mercy. And if I did not show mercy to My servants except out of their fear of standing before Me, I would thank them for that, and I would make their reward from it security from what they feared."
