"عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ أنَّ امْرَأةً كَانَتْ بَغِيًّا في الْجَاهِليَّةِ، فَمَرَّ بِهَا رَجُلٌ أَوْ مَرَّتْ بِه فَبَسَط يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: مَهْ إِنْ الله أَذْهَبَ بالشِرْكِ وَجَاءَ بِالإِسْلَامِ فَتَرَكهَا وَوَلَّى، وَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا حتَّى أَصَابَ وَجْهَهُ الْحَائِطُ، فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتَ لَهُ عَبْدٌ أَرَادَ الله بِهِ خَيْرًا، إِنَّ الله إِذَا أرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْرًا عَجَّلَ لَهُ عُقُوبَةَ ذَنْبِهِ، وَإِذَا أرَادَ بِعَبْد شَرًّا أَمْسَكَ عَلَيْهِ بِذَنْبِهِ حَتَّى يُوَافِىَ بِه يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ".

"From 'Abd Allah ibn Mughaffal that a woman was a prostitute in the Jahiliyyah. A man passed by her, or she passed by him, and he stretched out his hand toward her. She said: 'Stop! Indeed Allah has removed shirk and brought Islam.' So he left her and turned away, and he kept looking at her until the wall struck his face. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said: 'You are a servant for whom Allah wants good. Indeed, when Allah wants good for a servant, He hastens the punishment for his sin in this world. And when He wants evil for a servant, He withholds his sin from him until He brings him on the Day of Resurrection with it.'"
