Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘When Allah wants good for a servant who commits a sin, He follows it with a punishment and reminds him to ask for forgiveness. But if Allah, wants bad for a servant who commits a sin, He follows it with a favor that makes him forget to ask for forgiveness and continue sinning. This is the meaning of Allahs verse, “We will draw them imperceptibly [into ruin], whence they do not know”: with favors whenever they sin.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إذا أرادَ اللّهُ عزّ وجلّ بعبدٍ خيراً فأذْنبَ ذَنبا تَبِعَهُ بنِقمَةٍ ويُذكِّرُهُ الاسْتِغفارَ، وإذا أرادَ اللّهُ عزّ وجلّ بعبدٍ شَرّاً فأذْنبَ ذَنباً تَبِعَهُ بنِعمَةٍ لِيُنْسِيَهُ الاسْتِغفارَ ويَتَمادى بهِ، وهُو قولُ اللّهِ عزّ وجلّ: «سنَسْتدرِجُهُم من حيثُ لا يعلمونَ». بالنِّعَمِ عند المَعاصي.
