Does the description in verse 18 of Surat Al-Isra: "Whoever desires the immediate – We hasten for him therein what We will to whom We intend. Then We make for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished" apply to one who repents and supplicates to Allah for a righteous spouse to be granted immediately, and does the answering of the supplication mean entering Hell?

There is no harm for a woman in asking Allah for a righteous husband, for Allah has commanded us to ask Him for everything, even the salt for our food and the strap of our sandal. The noble verse: "Whoever desires the immediate - We hasten for him therein what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will burn therein, condemned and banished," does not carry a threat for those who ask for their worldly needs. Rather, it pertains to disbelievers who desire only this world and do not believe in the Hereafter.
