Hadith 198

there is no way to (get) it’. Allah-azwj Sent an Angel and Commanded him to disturb the sea with that fish to where it would be easy to catch it. Then that fish was caught for him, and he ate it and was cured of his illness. And he remain in his kingdom for (many) years after it. Then, that Momin fell sick during a time, with (an illness) similar to the illness of the Kafir (to be cured by) the genus of that fish exactly. And it was so that the fish had not departed from that shore from which it could be caught easily. And he desire to have that fish, and the doctors described it for him, and they said, ‘Feel good, for this type of it can be caught for you, and you should eat from it and be cured’. But Allah-azwj Sent that Angel and Commanded him that he disturbs the sea with the genus of that fish, all of them, to be (away) from the shore to the gulf, lest he (the Momin) would be able upon catching it, until the Momin died from his desire, prevented from his medication. The Angel of the sky was astounded from that, and (so were) the people of that city in the earth, until they were almost tempted, because Allah-azwj the Exalted Eased upon the Kafir what there was no way for him to it, Made it difficult upon the Momin the means which was easy for him to it. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the Angel of the sky and to a Prophet-as of that era in the earth: “I-azwj am Allah-azwj, the Benevolent, the Gracious, the Powerful. It does not harm Me-azwj, what I-azwj Give, nor does it benefit Me-azwj what I-azwj Prevent, and I-azwj am not unjust to anyone by even the weight of a particle. As for the Kafir, so I-azwj rather Eased for him the catching of the fish in other than its season in order for it to be a Recompense upon a good deed which he had done, when there was a right upon Me-azwj that I-azwj do not Invalidate a good deed of anyone, until he would return to the (Day of) Judgment and there would be no good deed for him in his parchment, and he would enter the Fire due to his Kufr. And I-azwj Prevented the (Momin) worshipper, that very fish, due to his sin which was from him, Intending to Delete it from him, by the prevention of that desire, and not having that medication, so that he would come (on the Day of Judgment) and there would be no sin upon him, and he would enter the Paradise’’.
