2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn Hafs from Isma’il ibn Dabis from those whom has mentioned (in his book) from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“If Allah creates a servant as an unbeliever in the beginning of his creation he will not die until He makes evil seem attractive to him so he draws nearer to evil. He then makes him turn out as arrogant and tyrannical. His heart then hardens, his behavior worsens, his face thickens (shameless), his obscenity becomes public, his bashfulness reduces and Allah opens his secrets. Thereafter unlawful dealing becomes his way of life and he does not separate from it. He then grows disobedient to Allah all the time and begins to hate obedience to Allah. He then moves on the offensive against people and is never satisfied with quarrels. Thus, you must ask Allah to grant you well-being, and you must seek to achieve it from Him.’”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ دُبَيْسٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا خَلَقَ الله الْعَبْدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْخِلْقَةِ كَافِراً لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُحَبِّبَ الله إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ فَيَقْرُبَ مِنْهُ فَابْتَلاهُ بِالْكِبْرِ وَالْجَبْرِيَّةِ فَقَسَا قَلْبُهُ وَسَاءَ خُلُقُهُ وَغَلُظَ وَجْهُهُ وَظَهَرَ فُحْشُهُ وَقَلَّ حَيَاؤُهُ وَكَشَفَ الله سِتْرَهُ وَرَكِبَ الْمَحَارِمَ فَلَمْ يَنْزِعْ عَنْهَا ثُمَّ رَكِبَ مَعَاصِيَ الله وَأَبْغَضَ طَاعَتَهُ وَوَثَبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ لا يَشْبَعُ مِنَ الْخُصُومَاتِ فَاسْأَلُوا الله الْعَافِيَةَ وَاطْلُبُوهَا مِنْهُ.
