Qur'an 38:28
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ٢٨
Shall We treat those who believe and do good works as those who spread corruption in the earth; or shall We treat the pious as the wicked?

Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 38:28
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
ولا يظن الجاهل بحكمة اللّه أن يسوي اللّه بينهما في حكمه، ولهذا قال: { أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ } هذا غير لائق بحكمتنا وحكمنا.
