[2617] Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “My Lord, gives respite to the wrongdoer, until when He seizes him, He would never let go of him!” Then he (ﷺ) read: “Such is the seizing of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are doing wrong; surely His seizing is painful, severe!”” (al-Bukhārī: 4686; Muslim: 2583).
