"إِن الله -تَعَالى- يَقُول: ثَلاثُ خِلال غَيَّبْتُهُنّ عَنْ عِبَادى، لَوْ رآهُن رَجُل مَا عَمِل سُوءًا أبَدًا؛ لَوْ كشَفْتُ غِطَائِى فَرآنِى حتَّى يَسْتَيقِنَ، وَيَعْلَمَ كيف أفْعَلُ بخَلقِى إِذا أمَتُّهُمْ، وَقَبَضْتُ السمواتِ بِيَدِى، ثُمَّ قَبَضْتُ الأرْضَ، ثُمَّ الأرَضِين، ثُمَّ قُلتُ: أنَا المَلِكُ مَن ذَا الذي لَهُ المُلكُ دُونِى، ثُمَّ أريهمُ الجنةَ، وَمَا أعْدَدْتُ لَهُمْ فِيها مَنْ كُلِّ خَير، فَيَسْتَيقِنُونَها وَأرِيهِمُ النَّارَ، وَمَا أعْدَدْتُ لَهُمْ فيها مِنَ كُل شَر فَيَسْتَيقِنُونَها، ولكِنْ عَمْدًا غَيبْتُ ذلك عَنْهُم لأعْلَمَ كَيفَ يَعْمَلُونَ، وقَدْ بَيَّنْتُهُ لَهُمْ".

"Indeed Allah the Exalted says: 'Three qualities I have hidden from My servants; if a man were to see them, he would never do evil ever again: if I were to lift My veil and he saw Me until he was certain, and knew how I would deal with My creation when I cause them to die, and I grasp the heavens in My hand, then I grasp the earth, then the earths, then I say: I am the King; who is it that has dominion besides Me? Then I show them Paradise and what I have prepared for them in it of every good, so they are certain of it; and I show them the Fire and what I have prepared for them in it of every evil, so they are certain of it. But I deliberately hid that from them so that I may know how they will act, and I have made it clear to them.'"
