وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
مَا كَانَ اللهُ
It is not such that Allah, to Whom belongs Might and Majesty,
لِيَفْتَحَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بَابَ الشُّكْرِ
keeps open the door of gratitude for a person
وَيُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الزِّيَادَةِ،
and closes the door of plenty upon him,
وَلاَ لِيَفْتَحَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بَابَ الدُّعَاءِ
or that He opens the door of prayer to a person
وَيُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الاْجَابَةِ،
and closes the door of acceptance upon him,
وَلاَ لِيَفْتَحَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بَابَ التَّوْبَةِ
or that He opens the door of repentance for a person
وَيُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ.
and closes the door of forgiveness upon him.
