- Sufficient to overturn your claim is what befalls the very body of the son of Adam—whether an infant, a madman, or any brute animal—
- of pain that has been decreed (3) without any stratagem on their part; and in whatever Allah wills there is wisdom in its most perfect form.
(3) Al-ʿUqud records the reading: “fi” (“in”).
٧٠- ويكفيك نقضًا ما بجسمِ ابنِ آدمٍ ... صبيٍّ ومجنون وكلِّ بهيمةِ
٧١- من الألم المقضيِّ من (٣) غير حيلةٍ ... وفيما يشاء الله أكملُ حكمةِ
(٣) في عقود: في.
