Narrated by Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you see that a man is being given sustenance in this world despite his evildoings, then (understand that) he is being given respite by Allah Almighty, as mentioned in this verse: "But when they forgot that whereof they had been reminded, We opened unto them the gates of all things till, even as they were rejoicing in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and lo! they were dumbfounded." (Surah Al-An'am: 44).
