Is a calamity in wealth a result of the anger of Allah?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is a calamity in wealth a result of the anger of Allah?

Answer:

And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned

وَمَا أَصَابَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ

[Ash-Shuraa 42:30]

Whether in wealth, in the self, in a close relative, or otherwise, every calamity occurs only because of a sin the person committed

it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.

فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُو عَن كَثِيرٍ

[Ash-Shuraa 42:30]

. Yes.
