Emotional incident of Umar ibn al-Khattab رضي الله عن advising a sinner — Shaykh Abdur Razzaq al Badr حفظه الله

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said:

وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ تُذْنِبُوا لَذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ وَلَجَاءَ بِقَوْمٍ يُذْنِبُونَ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ

By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin, Allah would replace you with people who would sin and they would seek forgiveness from Allah and He would forgive them.

Al-‘Allāmah Ibn ‘Uthaymīn (رحمه الله) said:

Allāh — the Mighty and Majestic — is All-Wise; He may afflict a person with sin in order to rectify his condition.

[Sharḥ Al-Mumti‘ (3/51) ]

Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Allāh has placed in the nature of a man an inclination towards a woman, just like the inclination of a thirsty person towards water and
that of a hungry person towards food, to the point that many people may be patient with food and drink, but not with women”
