٣٠٠. وَسُئِلَ (عليه السلام) : كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ؟
300. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, was asked: How Allāh would conduct the accounting of all persons despite their large number.
فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) : كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ عَلَى كَثْرَتِهِمْ.
He replied: Just as He provides them livelihood despite their large number.
فَقِيلَ: كَيْفَ يُحَاسِبُهُمْ وَلَا يَرَوْنَهُ؟
Then it was said to him: How will He conduct their accounting without their seeing Him.
فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) : كَمَا يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَلَا يَرَوْنَهُ.
He replied: Just as He provides them livelihood although they do not see Him.
