Abi al-Jarud narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of his grandfather who quoted God's Prophet (a.s)
“Whenever one of my believing servants approaches a sin and commits it, he will become poor. If this trouble is a sufficient penalty for his sin, it is fine. Otherwise he will get ill. If this is not a sufficient penalty for his sin, he will be troubled by the fear from the ruler who calls him in. If this is not a sufficient penalty either, then he will face hard treatment at the time of death, so that when he comes to meet his Lord there is nothing left to question him about, and God will issue the order for him to enter Heaven. However, when the unbelievers or the hypocrites die, they will be dealt with easily, so that no reward for any of their deeds is left to claim when they meet their Lord. Then God will issue the order to take them into the Fire (of Hell).”
عن أبي الجارود عن أبي جعفر عن آبائه (عليهم السلام) قالوا
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن المؤمن إذا قارف الذنوب وابتلى بها ابتلي بالفقر، فإن كان في ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا ابتلي بالمرض، فإن كان في ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا ابتلي بالخوف من السلطان يطلبه، فإن كان في ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا ضيق عليه عند خروج نفسه، حتى يلقاه وما له من ذنب يدعيه عليه فيأمر به إلى الجنة، وإن الكافر والمنافق ليهون عليهما خروج أنفسهما حتى يلقيان الله حين يلقيانه، وما لهما عنده من حسنة يدعيانها عليه فيأمر بهما إلى النار.
