17. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following:

“One who thinks to commit a sin, must not commit it; perhaps a servant (of Allah) commits a sin and the Lord, the Most Blessed, the Most High, finds him in that condition. He will say, ‘I swear by my Majesty and Glory that I will never forgive you thereafter.’”
