إِذَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْخِلْقَةِ كَافِراً لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُحَبِّبَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ فَيَقْرُبَ مِنْهُ فَابْتَلَاهُ بِالْكِبْرِ وَ الْجَبْرِيَّةِ فَقَسَا قَلْبُهُ وَ سَاءَ خُلُقُهُ وَ غَلُظَ وَجْهُهُ وَ ظَهَرَ فُحْشُهُ وَ قَلَّ حَيَاؤُهُ وَ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ سِتْرَهُ وَ رَكِبَ الْمَحَارِمَ فَلَمْ يَنْزِعْ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ رَكِبَ مَعَاصِيَ اللَّهِ وَ أَبْغَضَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ وَثَبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ لَا يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الْخُصُومَاتِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ اطْلُبُوهَا مِنْهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Hafs, from Ismail Bin Dubeys, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Creates the servant in the origin of the creation as a disbeliever, he will not die until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Causes him to love the evil, so he goes near it. Thus, He<sup>azwj</sup> Tests him with the arrogance and the tyranny, so his heart becomes ruthless, and his mannerisms become evil, and his face becomes harsh, and he manifests his immoralities, and his shame becomes little, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Uncovers his veil, and he indulges in the Prohibitions, and he is not removed from it. Then he indulges in disobeying Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and hates being obedient to him, and leaps upon the people not satiating from the disputes. Thus, you must ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> to Grant you health and seek it from Him<sup>azwj</sup>’.
