15. Why not? His Lord was always watching him [11].

[11] That is, from his birth to his death, Allah was watching over his deeds: where his soul came from, from what things his body was made, then after being born, what kind of actions he continued to perform. After death, where his soul is, and where the scattered parts of his body have reached. All these matters were in Allah’s sight. And it would be against Allah’s wisdom and His justice to overlook the deeds he was doing and not hold him accountable for them.
