In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said the following regarding God's statement
“Seeing that they had been summoned aforetime to bow in adoration while they were whole (and had refused).” [The Holy Quran: Qalam 68:43] They were able to obey God, and abandon what God Had forbidden, but they were tested this way and did not do so.”
من كتاب المحاسن: عن الحلبي عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) في قول الله عز وجل: ﴿وقد
كانوا يدعون إلى السجود وهم سالمون﴾ قال: وهم يستطيعون الأخذ بما أمروا به، والترك لما نهوا عنه وبذلك ابتلوا.
