" عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ لَمَّا أُرِىَ إِبْراهِيمُ مَلَكُوتَ السمواتِ والأَرْضِ أَشْرفَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ عَلَى مَعْصِيَةٍ مِنْ مَعَاصِى الله، فَدَعا عليْهِ فَهلَكَ، ثُمَّ أَشْرفَ عَلَى آخَرَ عَلَى مَعْصِيةٍ مِن مَعَاصِى الله فدعا علَيْه فَهَلَكَ، ثُمَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى آخَرَ فَذهَبَ يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِ فَأَوْحَى الله إِلَيْهِ: أَنْ يَا إِبْراهِيمُ، إِنَّكَ رَجُل مُسْتَجَابُ الدَّعْوَةِ فَلا تَدْعُ عَلَى عِبَادِى؛ فإنَّهُمْ مِنِّى عَلَى ثَلاَث: إِمَّا أَنْ يَتُوبَ فَأَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ، وإِمَّا أَنْ أُخْرِجَ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ نَسَمَةً تَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ، وَإِمَّا أنْ أَقْبِضَهُ إِلىَّ، فَإِنْ شِئْتُ عَفَوْتُ، وِإنْ شِئْتُ عَاقَبْتُ ".

"It is narrated from 'Ali who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Ibrahim was shown the dominion of the heavens and the earth, he looked upon a man committing one of Allah's sins, so he invoked against him and he died. Then he looked upon another committing one of Allah's sins, so he invoked against him and he died. Then he looked upon another and was about to invoke against him, when Allah revealed to him: 'O Ibrahim, you are a man whose supplication is answered, so do not invoke against My servants. For they are from Me in three ways: either they will repent and I will accept their repentance, or I will bring forth from his loins a soul that will fill the earth with glorification, or I will take him to Myself. So if I wish, I will pardon, and if I wish, I will punish.'"
