Note 1
(1) His statement: And Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents: At-Tayyibi said: It is possible to say: Its meaning is that all the children of Adam are innately disposed to love wealth and strive for it, and never be satisfied with it except those whom Allah protects and grants success to remove this innate blameworthy disposition embedded in him, running like a sin, and that removing it is possible, but with Allah's success and guidance. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: ويتوب الله على من تاب قال الطيبي : ويمكن أن يقال : معناه أن بني آدم كلهم مجبولون على حب المال والسعي في طلبه وأن لا يشبع منه إلا من عصمه الله تعالى ووفقه لإزالة هذه الجبلة المركوزة فيه مذمومة جارية مجرى الذنب، وأن إزالتها ممكنة، ولكن بتوفيق الله وتسديده. كذا في «المرقاة».
