سورة ص

Ali ibn Ibrahim: وَ لَاتَ حِینَ مَنَاصٍ [while the time of escaping had passed away] means that time is not the time of escape.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) — from his letters to Abdullah ibn Abbas: ... If what you have wrongfully taken from the wealth of the Muslims were lawful for me, I would not be pleased to leave it as inheritance for those who come after me. So hold back your hand and reflect; imagine that you have reached the end of your life, been hidden beneath the earth, and your deeds have been presented to you — there, where the wrongdoer cries out in regret, and the one who has wasted his life and opportunities wishes to return, but the time of deliverance has passed. وَ لاتَ حِینَ مَناصٍ [while the time of escaping had passed away].
