وَعَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اللَّهَ ﷿ يُعْطِي الْعَبْدَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى مَعَاصِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ اسْتِدْرَاجٌ» ثُمَّ تَلَا ⦗١٤٣٦⦘ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: (فَلَمَّا نسوا ماذكروا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هم مبلسون) رَوَاهُ أَحْمد
'Uqbah bin 'Amir Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "when you see that Allah, Mighty and Glorious, gives a man through he is involved in sin and disobedience, what he loves most (wealth and property), it is only inching him gradually towards destruction." Then, Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم recited the verse:[Thereafter, when they forgot the advice they were given, we opened for them the doors of everything, so that when they became proud of what they were given, we seized them suddenly and they were left in despair] [1] (6: 44)
