لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا خَصْلَتَيْنِ أَنْ يُقِرُّوا لَهُ بِالنِّعَمِ فَيَزِيدَهُمْ وَ بِالذُّنُوبِ فَيَغْفِرَهَا لَهُمْ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘No, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> does not Want from the people except for two characteristics, that he acknowledges to Him<sup>azwj</sup> of the Bounties so He<sup>azwj</sup> would Increase it for him, and (acknowledge) with the sins, so He<sup>azwj</sup> would Forgive these for him’.
