Hastening toward Good Things:
It is not right to lose the good deed, for it is an opportunity. Perhaps, losing the good deed brings about regret. All affairs of life are opportunities which we are not able to repeat. However, AbU Abd Allah, peace be on him, urges us to seize such suitable opportunities. He said:” if you intend to do a good deed, then do not put it off. Indeed, Allah, the Great and Almighty, may know that the servant has some obedience. So, He (Allah) says: By my Greatness and Might, I will never torture you after it.’”[1] There are many similar traditions in this regard.
Also al- Sadiq, peace be on him, warns us against evil deeds. He said:” And if you intend to do an evil deed, then do not do it. Indeed, Allah, the Great and Almighty, may know that the servant has some disobedience. So, He (Allah2 says:’ By My Greatness and Might, I will never forgive you after it.’” Al- Sadiq gave many similar comments in this regard.
