Bayhaqi 17753 — Reports on the excuse of the oppressed and weak
قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ: {إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَلَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا، فَأُولَئِكَ عَسَى اللهُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ اللهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا} [النساء: 99]. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: يُقَالُ: عَسَى مِنَ اللهِ وَاجِبٌ.
Allah, exalted be His praise, says: "Except the weak among the men, women and children who are unable to devise a plan and cannot find a way (out) - for those, it is hoped that Allah will pardon them, and Allah is ever Pardoning, Forgiving." [Surah al-Nisa: 98-99]
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is said that the word 'asa' (it is hoped) from Allah Almighty is certain (and binding)."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: " كُلُّ عَسَى فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَهِيَ وَاجِبَةٌ ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Every 'asa' (it may be) used in the Noble Qur'an is used in the sense of something certain (wajib).
