حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ فَإِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ‏‏{‏ وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ‏}‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us; Abu Muawiyah narrated to us; Burayd ibn Abi Burdah narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Musa, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, gives the unjust person respite, but when He seizes him, He does not let him escape. Then he recited: Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the towns while they are wrongdoing; indeed, His seizure is painful and severe.
