إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْحَى إِلَى دَاوُدَ ع أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ ذَنْبَكَ وَ جَعَلْتُ عَارَ ذَنْبِكَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ يَا رَبِّ وَ أَنْتَ لَا تَظْلِمُ قَالَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُعَاجِلُوكَ بِالنَّكَرَةِ.

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Asbat from abu Ishaq al-Khurasaniy from certain persons of his people who has said the following: “He (the Imam) has said, ‘Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, sent revelation to Dawud (David) (a.s.), that said, ‘I forgave your sins and placed the blame thereof on the Israelites.’ He (Dawud) asked, ‘How can that be, O Lord? You do not do injustice. He (the Lord) replied, ‘Because they did not express disappointment for what you had done.’” (This Hadith is addressed to Dawud but it is meant to apply to others. It is one of the cases where the popular expression, ‘I address you O slave-girl, but you, the neighbor woman listen.’)
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

[1]هذا الحديث من قبيل التعريضات الواردة في التنزيل كقوله تعالى:« لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ» و قد قال العالم عليه السلام: نزل القرآن باياك أعنى و اسمعى يا جاره( رفيع الدين) كذا في هامش المطبوع.ص 58
