The Shaykh : As for what follows it, it is authentic, and it is his saying:
And from Abu Hurayrah, he said: When the verse[An-Nisa 4:123] was revealed, it caused great distress among the Muslims. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Sahih Muslim 2574 Narrated by Muslim.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When this verse was revealed, its beginning is [An-Nisa 4:123], meaning that everything a Muslim commits in this life of sins, faults, and disobedience, he must be recompensed for it. It is like His saying, the Exalted: [Az-Zalzalah 99:8].
Therefore, when the verse was revealed, Abu Hurayrah said: "It caused great distress among the Muslims," meaning that this ruling contained in the verse, that every person who does evil must be recompensed for it.
And from Abu Hurayrah, he said: When the verse
Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it
من يعمل سوءاً يجز بهBe moderate and stand firm in trouble that falls to the lot of a Muslim (as that) is an expiation for him; even stumbling on the path or the pricking of a thorn (are an expiation for him).
قاربوا وسددوا ففي كل ما يصاب به المسلم كفارة حتى النكبة ينكبها أو الشوكة يشاكهاAbu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When this verse
Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it
من يعمل سوءً يجز بهParadise is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed
ليس بأمانيكم ولا أماني أهل الكتاب من يعمل سوءاً يجز بهAnd whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it.
ومن يعمل مثقال ذرة شراً يرهTherefore, when the verse was revealed, Abu Hurayrah said: "It caused great distress among the Muslims," meaning that this ruling contained in the verse, that every person who does evil must be recompensed for it.
