سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَدِمْنا إِلى ما عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْناهُ هَباءً مَنْثُوراً قَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ أَشَدَّ بَيَاضاً مِنَ الْقَبَاطِيِّ وَ لَكِنْ كَانُوا إِذَا عَرَضَ لَهُمُ الْحَرَامُ لَمْ يَدَعُوهُ .
Translation
Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:25#h23"><a href="/books/quran:25#h23">[25:23]</a></a> And We will proceed to what they have done of deeds, so We shall render them as scattered floating dust</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Even if their deeds were more intensely whiter than the Coptic tapestry, but whenever the Prohibition was presented to them, they were not leaving it’.
