Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
That is, the hearts [are affected] by the sins that Allah has forbidden, and yet Allah the Exalted does not open the door to them,
Answer:
despite the fact that He laughs at the despair of the servant, not to mock him, but rather He laughs at the state of the servant, at the state of the servant, meaning the speed of his despair and the nearness of relief from Allah. This is a wondrous matter. And as we mentioned, wonder can be at something praiseworthy and it can be at something blameworthy. Allah wonders at it if it is blameworthy and prohibited. Yes.
