28ـ المسيح (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ مَنلَيس علَيهِ دَيْنٌ مِنالنّاسِ أروَحُ وأقَلُّ هَمّاً مِمَّن علَيهِ الدَّينُ وإنْ أحسَنَ القَضاءَ، وكذلكَ مَن لَم يَعمَلِ الخَطيئةَ أرْوَحُ هَمّاً مِمَّن عَمِلَ الخَطيئَةَ وإنْ أخْلصَ التّوبَةَ وأنابَ. |
28– Prophet Jesus (AS) said, ‘The man who has no debt to people is more comfortable than the one indebted, even if he repayed his debt; and similarly the man who has not committed any sins is more comfortable than he who has committed sins, even if he has sincerely repented and returned [to the right path].’[Ibid. no. 392] |
29ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): تَرْكُ الذَّنبِ أهْوَنُ مِن طَلبِ التَّوبةِ. |
29- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Abandoning sin is easier than asking for forgiveness.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 73, p. 364, no. 96] |
