When is the servant punished for his intention if he intends a sin?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: May Allah reward you. Is the one who is punished for his intention punished if he does not carry out the act?

The Shaykh : No, no. The punishment for the intention is when a person intends to commit a sin. Either he repels this intention and leaves the sin for the sake of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), in which case he is rewarded, or he persists in his intention and resolves to do it, but he is unable to, in which case he is punished for his intention. The time is up.
