Shaykh Ibn Qasim’s response to the poet’s statement regarding the punishment of the servant

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: At the point where the poet (may Allah have mercy on him) said, “And it is permissible for the Master to punish the people without any sin or crime having been committed,” Shaykh Ibn Qasim responded by saying, “This is not from the words of the Salaf, nor is it praise of Allah. The texts that negate injustice establish justice in retribution.” Is this response from him (may Allah have mercy on him) correct?

Answer:
In any case, I have explained this to you. I said: If Allah were to hold His servants accountable for their deeds, they would amount to nothing in comparison to His blessings upon them, and in comparison to their sins and disobedience. But Allah the Exalted bestows His mercy upon the people of excellence. As for the people of disbelief, He punishes them for their sins, not unjustly toward them, but rather for their sins. His punishment of them is justice, because He recompensed them for their deeds. And His honoring the people of obedience is a favor from Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), a bestowal from Him. Yes.
