عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَدِمْنا إِلى ما عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْناهُ هَباءً مَنْثُوراً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ لَأَشَدَّ بَيَاضاً مِنَ الْقَبَاطِيِّ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهَا كُونِي هَبَاءً وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا شُرِعَ لَهُمُ الْحَرَامُ أَخَذُوهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, form Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of the 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>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Even if their deeds were intensely whiter than the tapestries, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would be Saying to these: “Be floating dust!”, and that is because whenever the Prohibited means was displayed unto them, they grabbed it’.
