[12].Surah Yusuf [Joseph]: Ayat 110

Ayat 110. (They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people), then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were delivered. And Our Punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are Mujrimun (criminals, disobedient to Allah, sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).

Hazrat Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "If Allah afflicts punishment upon a nation, it befalls the whole population indiscriminately and then they will be resurrected and judged according to their deeds.''

[Al-Bukhari Chapter 88, Hadith # 244].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat 110. "then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were delivered. And Our Punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are Mujrimun" When Allah's punishment comes to pass, it does not distinguish between the upright and the wicked. However, the pious people will be saved from punishment after their death while the wicked ones will be punished in the Hell. May Allah save us from all types of punishments.
