The questioner:
We seek an explanation of the concept that the reward is of the same kind as the deed in the hadith of Abu Bakrah: Is it from aggression and severing family ties, and from aggression?
sin more deserving that Allah hasten the punishmentذنب أجدر أن يعجل الله لصاحبه العقوبة
Sunan Ibn Majah 4211Sahih (Darussalam)


The Shaykh:
From aggression, from aggression by those who aggress against people. Aggression means encroachment; aggression is encroaching upon people. The reward is of the same kind as the deed; Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, rewards a person according to the kind of his deed. So He rewards the one who does good with goodness, as He, the Exalted, said:
Is the reward for good [anything] but good?هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ
[Ar-Rahman 55:60]
. And He rewards the one who does evil with his evil, or He, Blessed and Exalted is He, pardons him. He may pardon, Blessed is He, or He may reward the evil with evil. He rewards the sin with punishment. For example, the punishment for intentional murder, which is aggression, is the same: killing by way of retaliation.
Wounds and limbs are subject to retaliation, as stated in:
for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retributionعَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالْأَنفَ بِالْأَنفِ وَالْأُذُنَ بِالْأُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّ وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:45]
This is a reward of the same kind as the deed. A reward of the same kind as the deed. And He, the Exalted, said:
Those who criticize the contributors among the believers concerning [their] charities and [criticize] the ones who find nothing [to spend] except their effort, so they ridicule them - Allah will ridicule themالَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ
[At-Tawbah 9:79]
This is a reward of the kind of the deed. Just as they mocked the servants of Allah, Allah mocked them, Blessed and Exalted is He. A reward:
And the disbelievers planned, but Allah plannedوَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:54]
This is a reward of the kind of their deed.
So just as they plotted against the servants of Allah, Allah plotted against them and punished them in ways they did not perceive, in ways they did not perceive. And this is justice from Him, Blessed and Exalted is He. The reward is of the kind of the deed, without doubt. Yes.
and you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do.وَلَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
[Ya-Sin 36:54]
This is a reward of the kind of the deed.
And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like itوَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا
[Ash-Shuraa 42:40]
, this is a reward of the kind of the deed. Yes.
