36. And with the former chains of narration from ‘Ali ibn Mahyzar from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Hisham ibn Salim, that
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: "When you are determined to do something good, then do not delay doing it. For when Allah, Most Glorious, sees His slave intent upon performing an act according to one of His commands, He says: ’By My Might and Greatness, I shall never subject you to any chastisement.’ And when you feel inclined to commit a sin, do not do it, for when Allah, Most Benevolent and High, finds a slave on the verge of committing a sin, He says: ’By My Might and Greatness, I will never forgive you.’"
36 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن مهزيار، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام ابن سالم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام
أنه قال: إذا هممت بخير فلا تؤخره، فإن الله تبارك وتعالى ربما اطلع على عبده وهو على الشئ من طاعته ، فيقول: وعزتي وجلالي لا أعذبك بعدها أبدا، وإذا هممت بمعصية فلا تفعلها ، فإن الله تبارك وتعالى ربما اطلع على العبد وهو على شئ من معاصيه، فيقول: وعزتي وجلالي لا أغفر لك أبدا.
