Rashi says that avraham sent yishmael out with only water but no money because he hated him for going out "tarbut raah". yet later on, the verse says G-d heard the cry of Yishmael dying of thirst "baasher hu sham", that the angels wanted to let him die due to the future suffering his descendants will cause the jews but G-d said right now he is a tzadik.
sounds like a contradiction. any ideas?
