HR Background

لَا یُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَاؕ-لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَ عَلَیْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْؕ-رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَاۤ اِنْ نَّسِیْنَاۤ اَوْ اَخْطَاْنَاۚ-رَبَّنَا وَ لَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَیْنَاۤ اِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهٗ عَلَى الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَاۚ-رَبَّنَا وَ لَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهٖۚ-وَ اعْفُ عَنَّاٙ-وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَاٙ-وَ ارْحَمْنَاٙ-اَنْتَ مَوْلٰىنَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ(286)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Allah only burdens a life according to its capability. Any virtue earned by a life is for it alone and the adversity of any evil earned by a life is for it alone.[1] “O our Lord! Do not seize us if we forget or err, O our Lord! Do not place upon us a heavy burden as you placed upon our predecessors, O our Lord! Do not place upon us a burden that we cannot bear, and pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us; You are our Master, so help us against the disbelieving people.”

Commentary

[1]

This verse is about the reward and punishment of the Hereafter. However, such a situation often occurs in this world too that generally a person attains the fruit of his endeavours; a hard-working individual reaches his targets whereas a lazy person faces the outcome of his laziness.
