ه الله، قال: حدثنا الحسين ابن الحسن بن أبان، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن أبان بن عث٠د الطيار، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلا٠عن قول الله عز وجل: ﴿وقد كانوا يدعون إلى السجود وه٠ستطيعون، يستطيعون الأخذ ب٠ا نهوا عنه، وبذلك ابتلوا، ث٠روا به ونهوا عنه إلا و٠ن الله تعالى عز وجل فيه ابتلاء وقضاء.

He (AS) said: “The capable are capable of fulfilling the obligations that have been imposed on them. And the capable are capable of refraining from the prohibitions that were imposed on them. They will be tried through both obligation and prohibition.” Then he added, “There is nothing which has been commanded or prohibited by Allah, the Exalted, the Mighty and High, that is not a trial and predestined.”
