۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whenever God wills to abandon man, He will let him commit a sin, and then give him a blessing. This will make him forget that he has committed a sin and he will not seek God's forgiveness. This is what is meant by God gradually abandoning man.”
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
إن الله إذا أراد أن يستدرج عبدا ابتلاه بذنب ثم أنعم عليه بعد ذلك الذنب بنعمة فينسيه ذلك الذنب الاستغفار فذلك الاستدراج.
