(حديث) أبي قلابة
The words of Abu Qilabah
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37913 — The words of Abu Qilabah
٣٧٩١٣ - حدثنا الثقفي عن أيوب عن أبي قلابة قال: إن اللَّه لما لعن إبليس سأله النظرة، فأنظره إلى يوم الدين، قال: وعزتك لا أخرج من جوف -أو من قلب- ابن آدم ما دام فيه الروح، (قال: وعزتي لا أحجب عنه التوبة ما دام فيه الروح) (١).
It is narrated from Abu Qilabah that he said: When Allah Almighty declared Iblis cursed, he asked Allah Almighty for respite, so Allah Almighty granted him respite until the Day of Resurrection. Iblis said: By Your might, I will remain in the belly, or the heart, of the son of Adam as long as there is a soul in him. Allah Almighty said: By My might, as long as there is a soul in him, I will not shut repentance off from him.
