وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
كَمْ مِنْ مُسْتَدْرَجٍ بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيْهِ
There are many people who are given time (by Allah) through good treatment towards them,
وَ مَغْرُورٍ بِالسَّتْرِ عَلَيْهِ
and many who are deceived because their sinful activities are veiled (by Allah),
وَ مَفْتُونٍ بِحُسْنِ الْقَوْلِ فِيهِ
and many who are enamoured by good talk about themselves.
وَ مَا ابْتَلَى اللَّهُ أَحَداً بِمِثْلِ الْإِمْلَاءِ لَهُ .
And Allah does not try anyone as seriously as He tries him whom He allows time (to remain sinful).
