From him...
From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hamaad, from Abu Umran Umar Bin Mas’ab, from his father – Hamza Sumaly who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘The servant is in between three (states) – affliction, and pre-determination, and Blessing. So if there is the affliction upon him from Allah -azwj , the patience is Obligatory; and upon him is the pre-determination from Allah -azwj , the submission is an Obligation; and upon him is the Blessing from Allah -azwj , the appreciation is an Obligation’.
[17] عنه، رفعه قال: إن أمير المؤمنين (ع) صعد المنبر بالكوفة فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، ثم قال: أيها الناس إن الذنوب ثلاثة، ثم أمسك، فقال له حبة العرنى: يا أمير المؤمنين قلت: ” الذنوب ثلاثة ” ثم أمسكت، فقال له: ما ذكرتها إلا وأنا أريد أن أفسرها ولكنه عرض لى بهر حال بينى وبين الكلام، نعم، الذنوب ثلاثة، فذنب مغفور وذنب غير مغفور، وذنب نرجو لصاحبه ونخاف عليه، From him, raising it, said, ‘Amir-ul-Momineen -asws ascended the Pulpit at Al-Kufa, so he -asws Praised Allah -azwj and Extolled Him -azwj , then said: ‘O you people!
The sins are three!’ Then he -asws was silent. So Habat Al-Arny said to him -asws , ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen -asws ! You -asws said, ‘The sins are three’, then you -asws were silent’. So he -asws said to him: ‘I -asws did not mention it except that I -asws intended to explain it, but it has been presented to me -asws in between the speech.
Yes, the sins are three – the Forgiveable sins, and the Unforgiveable sins, and the sins which its committer except that his Master -azwj (will Forgive) and fears Him -azwj ’. قيل: يا أمير المؤمنين فبينها لنا قال: نعم، أما الذنب المغفور فعبد عاقبه الله على ذنبه في الدنيا فالله أحكم وأكرم أن يعاقب عبده مرتين، It was said, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen -asws ! So explain these to us’. He -asws said: ‘Yes.
As for the Forgiveable sins, so the servant is Punished by Allah -azwj for these sins in the world, and Allah -azwj is more Wise and more benevolent that He -azwj would Punish His -azwj servant twice.
وأما الذنب الذي لا يغفر فظلم العباد بعضهم لبعض، إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا برز لخلقه أقسم قسما على نفسه فقال: وعزتي وجلالى لا يجوزنى ظلم ظالم ولو كف بكف ولو مسحة بكف ونطحة ما بين الشاة القرناء إلى الشاة الجماء فيقتص الله للعباد بعضهم من بعض حتى لا يبقى لاحد عند أحد مظلمة، ثم يبعثهم الله إلى الحساب، And as for the Unforgiveable sins, so the servants are unjust to each other. When Allah -azwj Blessed and High Emerged His -azwj creatures, Swore a Swear to Himself -azwj .
