As for His statement — ذَلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاكَ ('This is for what your hands have sent forward') — Allah, exalted be His praise, says: it will be said to him, when on the Day of Resurrection he is made to taste the punishment (ʿadhāb) of the Fire: 'This punishment which We make you taste today is for what your hands sent forward in the world of sins and transgressions, and for the crimes you acquired therein.' وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ ('And that Allah is by no means unjust to the servants') — He says: We did this because Allah is by no means unjust to the servants, such that He would punish some of His servants for a crime while He forgives another the like of that transgression, or such that He would lay the sin of a sinner upon an innocent one and punish him while He lets the sinner go free. Rather, He punishes no one except for his own crime, and He does not punish anyone for a sin which He forgives to another, unless there is a reason on account of which that other has merited His forgiveness.
