Muhammad ibn Abi Omeer quoted on the authority of Imam Kazim (a.s): “God will only make the infidels, the unbelievers, the misguided people, and the atheists reside in Hell forever. And any believer who avoids committing a major sin will be questioned by God regarding his minor sins. God the Almighty said
“If ye (but) eschew the most heinous of the things which ye are forbidden to do, We shall expel out of you all evil in you, and admit you to a Gate of great honor.” [The Holy Quran: Nisaa 4:31] Then they asked him: “Who then does intercession apply to?” Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “My father quoted on the authority of his grandfather who had quoted on the authority of Imam Ali (a.s): “I heard God's Prophet (a.s) say: “My intercession applies to those of my people who have committed major sins, but good people do not need any intercession.” Muhammad ibn Abi Ommer asked Imam Kazim (a.s): “O' Grandson of the Prophet! How does intercession apply to those who have committed major sins even though the Almighty God said: “And they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable and they stand in awe and reverence of His (glory).”[The Holy Quran: Anbiyaa 21:28] and whoever commits a major sin is not acceptable?” Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “O' Abu Ahmad! Any believer who commits a sin will become sorry, and God's Prophet (a.s) said being sorry itself is a form of repentance. He also said: “Whoever is pleased with his good deeds and is unhappy with his bad deeds is a believer. Whoever is not sorry about his sins is not a believer. There will be no intercession for him since he is an oppressor. God the Almighty said: “No intimate friend nor intercessor will the wrong-doers have, who could be listened to.”[The Holy Quran: Mu-min 40:18] Then he asked: “O' grandson of the Prophet! How can someone who does not repent for committing a sin be not considered a believer?” Imam Kazim (a.s) said: “O' Abu Ahmad! There is no one that knows if he commits a major crime he will be punished, and does not feel sorry when he commits it. Once he feels sorry, this is considered to be repentance, and thus he deserves intercession. But if he does not become sorry, he is considered to be one who insists on committing sins. Such a person will never be forgiven since as a result of the sins that he has committed, he is no longer a believer. If he believed in the punishment he would have repented. God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Major sins are eliminated by repentance, and minor sins turn into major sins by insisting on committing sins.” God the Almighty said: “And they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable.”[The Holy Quran: Anbyaa 21:28] They will not intercede on behalf of those whose religion is not accepted by God. Religion consists of confessing to recompense for good and bad deeds. Whoever has a religion that is accepted by God will be sorry for committing sins since he is aware of the punishment in the Hereafter.”
عن محمد بن أبي عمير قال
سمعت موسى بن جعفر (عليه السلام) يقول: لا يخلد الله في النار إلا أهل الكفر والجحود وأهل الضلال والشرك، ومن اجتنب الكبائر من المؤمنين لم يسأل عن الصغائر، قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ﴿إن تجتنبوا كبائر ما تنهون عنه نكفر عنكم سيأتكم وندخلكم مدخلا كريما﴾. قال: قلت: يا بن رسول الله، فالشفاعة لمن تجب من المذنبين؟ قال: حدثني أبي عن آبائه عن علي (عليهم السلام) قال: سمعت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يقول: " إنما شفاعتي لأهل الكبائر من أمتي، فأما المحسنون منهم فما عليهم من سبيل ". قال ابن أبي عمير: فقلت له: يا بن رسول الله، فكيف تكون الشفاعة لأهل الكبائر والله تعالى ذكره يقول: ﴿ولا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى﴾ ومن ارتكب الكبائر لا يكون مرتضى، فقال: يا أبا أحمد، ما من مؤمن يرتكب ذنبا إلا ساءه ذلك وندم عليه، وقد قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): كفى بالندم توبة. وقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): من سرته حسنته وساءته سيئته فهو مؤمن، فمن لم يندم على ذنب يرتكبه فليس بمؤمن ولم تجب له الشفاعة وكان ظالما، والله تعالى ذكره يقول: ﴿ما للظالمين من حميم ولا شفيع يطاع﴾ فقلت له: يا بن رسول الله، كيف لا يكون مؤمنا من لا يندم على ذنب يرتكبه؟ فقال: يا أبا أحمد، ما من أحد يرتكب كبيرة من المعاصي وهو يعلم أنه سيعاقب عليها إلا ندم على ما ارتكب، ومتى ندم كان تائبا مستحقا للشفاعة، ومتى لم يندم عليها كان مصرا والمصر لا يغفر له لأنه غير مؤمن بعقوبة ما ارتكب، ولو كان مؤمنا بالعقوبة لندم، وقد قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): لا كبيرة مع الاستغفار ولا صغيرة مع الإصرار، وأما قول الله تعالى: ﴿ولا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى﴾ فإنهم لا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى الله دينه، والدين الإقرار بالجزاء على الحسنات والسيئات، فمن ارتضى الله دينه ندم على ما ارتكبه من الذنوب لمعرفته بعاقبته في القيامة.
