Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “If you do something which God is not pleased with once, God will cover it up. If you repeat it again, God will cover it up again. But if you do it the third time, God will dispatch an angel in the form of a man to publicly announce what you did.”
وقال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): ما من عبد يعمل عملا لا يرضاه الله إلا ستر عليه أولا، فإذا ثنى ستر عليه، فإذا ثلث أهبط الله ملكا في صورة آدمي يقول للناس: إن فلانا يعمل كذا وكذا.
