i.e., when it was that He -azwj had Hidden the hot fire inside the wet tree to be extracted from (striking of two twigs to kindle a flame), so He -azwj is Making you understand that He -azwj is more Able upon Repeating what is decayed. \n Then He -azwj Said: Is not He Who Created the skies and the earth able to Create the like of them? Yes!

And He is the All-Knowing Creator [36:81] \u2013 i.e., when it was so that the creation of the skies and the earth was greater and further in your imaginations and your measurement that He -azwj would be Able upon it from Returning the decayed.

\n So, how are you accepting from Allah -azwj , the creation of this as more astounding with you and more difficult in front of you, and you are not accepting what is easier with you \u2013 from the returning of the decayed (bones)?\u2019 \n Al-Sadiq -asws said: \u2018So this is the debating by that which is best, because therein is cutting off of the excuses of the Kafirs and the removal of their doubts\u2019.

\n And as for the debating which is other than best \u2013 (it is when) you (end up) fighting (against) that which is true, (and) you cannot differentiate between it and the falsehood of the one who is debating it. And rather, you repel him from his falsehood by your rejecting the truth. So, this is from the Prohibited because you would be like him. Him fighting the truth, and you fighting against another truth\u2019.

\n A man stood up to him -asws and said:\u2019 O son -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ! Did Rasool-Allah -saww (ever) debate?\u2019 \n Al-Sadiq -asws said: \u2018Slow down! Whatever you think of Rasool-Allah -saww from anything, do not think with him -saww being in opposition to Allah -azwj . And hasn\u2019t Allah -azwj Said: and have disputations with them by that which is best [16:125] ?

And He -azwj Said: Who has made for you the fire from the green tree [36:80] , for the one from whom Allah -azwj Struck an example.

\n Do you think that Rasool-Allah -saww would oppose whatever Allah -azwj Commands him -saww , and he -saww did not debate with what Allah -azwj had Commanded him -saww with, and did not inform on behalf of Allah -azwj with what He -azwj had been Commanded to inform with?\u2019\u2019 [8] \n Al-Sadiq -asws said: \u2018The repentance is a Rope of Allah -azwj and an extension of His -azwj Care, and there is no escape for the servant from continuing upon the repentance upon every state.

\n And for every sect, there is repentance for them.
