Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whenever God wishes someone bad, He gives him something when he commits a sin so that he forgets to repent and remains in that state. This is God's statement: “Those who reject Our signs, We shall gradually visit them with punishment, in ways they perceive not.” [The Holy Quran: Araf 7:182]
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا أراد بعبد شرا فأذنب ذنبا اتبعه بنعمة لينسيه الاستغفار ويتمادى بها، وهو قول الله عز وجل: ﴿سنستدرجهم من حيث لا يعلمون﴾ بالنعم عند المعاصي.
