Arabic text

حدثنا الحسين بن سعيد قال: حدثنا النضر بن سويد عن ابن سنان عن حفص قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: ما من عبد مؤمن يذنب ذنبا الا أجله الله سبع ساعات من النهار فان هو تاب لم يكتب عليه شيئا وان لم يفعل كتبت عليه سيئة فاتاه عباد البصري فقال له: بلغنا انك قلت: ما من عبد يذنب ذنبا الا اجله الله سبع ساعات من النهار فقال: ليس هكذا قلت ولكني قلت: ما من عبد مؤمن يذنب ذنبا الا اجله الله سبع ساعات من نهاره هكذا قلت.

Translation

1.Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, “Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated to us, from Ibn Sinān, from Ḥafṣ who said, ‘I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, “There is no believing servant who commits a sin but that Allah delays for him [the recording of that sin] for seven hours of the day. If he repents [in that time], nothing is recorded against him but if he fails to do so, one evil deed is recorded against him.” So ʿAbbād al-Baṣrī came to him and said, “We have been informed that you said there is no servant who commits a sin but that Allah delays [its recording] for him for seven hours of the day?” So he (a) replied, “That is not how I said it. Rather, I said: there is no believing servant who commits a sin but that Allah delays [its recording] for him for seven hours of his day – that is how I said it.”’”[1]
