جَلَّ رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُعَامِلَهُ الْعَبْدُ نَقْدًا فَيُجَازِيَهُ نَسِيئَةً

Our Lord is too exalted for the servant to deal with Him in ready payment while He repays him on deferred credit.

Ibn ʿAbbād

جزاء المعاملة لا يختص بالدار الآخرة بل ربما أظهر الحق تعالى منه لبعض أوليائه فى الدنيا انموذجا يحملهم على الاجتهاد فى الاعمال ويتحققون به وجود قبولها فى كل الأحوال وذلك لعظيم كرمه وعميم فضله جل وعلا

The commentary: The recompense for one's dealings (*muʿāmala*) with God is not confined to the Abode of the Hereafter. Rather, the Real (*al-Ḥaqq*), exalted is He, may sometimes reveal a sample (*unmūdhaj*) of it to certain of His friends (*awliyāʾ*) in this world, one that spurs them on to striving (*ijtihād*) in works, and through which they come to verify (*yataḥaqqaqūn*) that those works have truly been accepted in every circumstance. That is because of the immensity of His generosity and the all-embracing reach of His bounty, majestic and exalted is He.
