Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He takes him over, He never
releases him." Then he recited:--
"Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes (population of) towns in the midst of their wrong:
Painful indeed, and severe is His seizure.' (11.102)

While Ibn `Umar was performing the Tawaf (around the Ka`ba), a man came up to him and said, "O
Abu `AbdurRahman!" or said, "O Ibn `Umar! Did you hear anything from the Prophet (ﷺ) about An35
Najwa?" Ibn `Umar said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The Believer will be brought near his Lord."
(Hisham, a sub-narrator said, reporting the Prophet's words), "The believer will come near (his Lord)
till his Lord covers him with His screen and makes him confess his sins. (Allah will ask him), 'Do you
know (that you did) 'such-and-such sin?" He will say twice, 'Yes, I do.' Then Allah will say, 'I
concealed it in the world and I forgive it for you today.' Then the record of his good deeds will be
folded up. As for the others, or the disbelievers, it will be announced publicly before the witnesses:
'These are ones who lied against their Lord."
