٣٠٠. وَسُئِلَ (عليه السلام) : كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ؟

300. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, was asked: How Allāh would conduct the accounting of all persons despite their large number.

فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) : كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ.

He replied: Just as He provides them livelihood despite their large number.

فَقِيلَ: كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُهُمْ وَلَا يَرَوْنَهُ؟

Then it was said to him: How will He conduct their accounting without their seeing Him.

فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) : كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَلَا يَرَوْنَهُ.

He replied: Just as He provides them livelihood although they do not see Him.

300. On lui demande comment Dieu demande des comptes aux gens qui sont si nombreux;

il répond: De la même manière par laquelle II leur assure la nourriture.

On lui demande alors comment II les rétribue sans qu’ils Le voient.

Il répond: De la même manière par laquelle Il leur pourvoit la nourriture sans qu’ils Le voient.
