 if he is safe it is because of good intentions and because he praised the generous and described him as forbearing. the generous is forgiving and the forbearing is lenient. if he is afflicted it is because of a sin and what god forgives is greater.
فإن سلم فبحسن النية، ولأنه مدح كريما، ووصف حليما. والكريم صفوح، والحليم متغافل. وإن ابتلى فبذنب، وما عفا الله عنه أكبر.
