الأهوَنُ مِن التَّوبَةِ What Is Easier Than Repentance

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]
