Chapter 6 - On God Gradually Abandoning Man and not Being Grateful to God

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]

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.”
