سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَجَلُّ وَ أَعْدَلُ وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِعَبْدِهِ عُذْرٌ لَا يَدَعُهُ يَعْتَذِرُ بِهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ فُلِجَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عُذْرٌ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473324">H 14648</a> – From him, from Ali, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Hammad Bin Busman who said, <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">‘I</span> heard Abu Abdullah</span><sup>asws</sup> saying with regards to the Statement of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:77#h36"><a href="/books/quran:77#h36">[77:36]</a></a> And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses”</span>. So Imam<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is more Majestic, and Just, and Greater than it, that if a servant has an excuse, He<sup>azwj</sup> would not Allow it to be presented by him. But, rather (it means that) he would fail and run out of excuses’.
