إِنِّي لَأَتَعَشَّى مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ بَلِ الْإِنْسانُ عَلى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ وَ لَوْ أَلْقى مَعاذِيرَهُ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ مَا يَصْنَعُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَنْ يَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِخِلَافِ مَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَسَرَّ سَرِيرَةً رَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ رِدَاءَهَا إِنْ خَيْراً فَخَيْرٌ وَ إِنْ شَرّاً فَشَرٌّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I was having dinner with Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> when he<sup>asws</sup> recited this Verse <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:75#h14"><a href="/books/quran:75#h14">[75:14]</a></a> But! The human being is evidence against himself <a href="/#/books/quran:75#h15"><a href="/books/quran:75#h15">[75:15]</a></a> Although he puts forth his excuses</span>. O Abu Hafs! The human being cannot get closer to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic by going against what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted Knows. Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was saying: ‘The one who does a secretive deed, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Return it with a Returning - if it was good, so good, and if it was evil, so evil’.
