360. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Ali Bin Atiyya, who has said
Abu Abdullah (asws) said, ‘I was in his (asws) presence and a man asked him (asws) about a man from whom something comes out due to his anger, will Allah (azwj) Hold him responsible for it?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) is more benevolent than Tying down His (azwj) servant’. And in a copy from Abu Al-Hassan The First (asws): (which says Allah (azwj) does not) ‘Coerce His (azwj) servant’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَجِي‏ءُ مِنْهُ الشَّيْ‏ءُ عَلَى حَدِّ الْغَضَبِ يُؤَاخِذُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْتَغْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ وَ فِي نُسْخَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) يَسْتَقْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ.
