if god should take men to task for their evildoing he would not leave on the earth one creature that crawls but he is deferring them to a term stated and when their term is come they shall not put it back by a single hour nor put it forward.
ولو يؤاخذ الله الناس بظلمهم ما ترك عليها من دابة ولكن يؤخرهم إلى أجل مسمى فإذا جاء أجلهم لا يستأخرون ساعة ولا يستقدمون
