حکمت 435: خدا در شکرگزاری را بر بنده ای نمی گشاید… · Saying 435

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام):

مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَفْتَحَ عَلَي عَبْدٍ بَابَ الشُّكْرِ وَ يُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الزِّيَادَةِ وَ لَا لِيَفْتَحَ عَلَي عَبْدٍ بَابَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ يُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الْإِجَابَةِ وَ لَا لِيَفْتَحَ لِعَبْدٍ بَابَ التَّوْبَةِ وَ يُغْلِقَ عَنْهُ بَابَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ.

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: It is not that Allah, to whom belongs Might and Majesty, may keep the door of gratitude open for a person and close the door of plenty upon him, or to open the door of prayer to a person and close the door of acceptance upon him, or to open the door of repentance on a person and close the door of forgiveness upon him.
