32 – Yaʿlā ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Hudhalī narrated to us; Bishr ibn ʿAmmār reported to us; Ibn Luhayʿa told us; ʿUqbah ibn Muslim conveyed, from ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When you see Allah granting His servants whatever they desire while they persist in disobeying Him, know that this is but His istidrāj—a gradual drawing-on—for them.”
٣٢ - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْهُذَلِيُّ، نا بِشْرُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اللَّهَ ﷿ يُعْطِيَ الْعِبَادَ عَلَى مَا يَشَاءُونَ عَلَى مَعَاصِيهِمْ إِيَّاهُ، فَذَلِكَ اسْتِدْرَاجٌ مِنْهُ لَهُمْ»
