16
- Do you not see that, even in this world, whoever commits a crime is punished—either by an inescapable decree or by the provisions of the Sacred Law?
- The wrongdoer, then, has no excuse in pleading the Creator’s predestination; likewise (1) in the Hereafter, there will be no room for a second plea.
(1) The Ṭ version reads: "lidhālika" (for that reason).
٧٦-ألست ترى في هذه الدار مَنْ جنى ... يعاقب إما بالقضا أو بشرعة
٧٧- ولا عُذْرَ للجاني بتقدير خالقٍ ... كذلك (١) في الأخرى بلا مَثْنَويَّةِ
(١) في ط: لذلك.
