Hadith 83
۞
3. He said: ’Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali reported to me from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, from his uncle Muhammad ibn Abul Qasim from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-kufi, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abu al-Nu’man, that
Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him told me: "O Abu al-Nu’man, let no people deceive you about yourself, for what is destined will reach you without them. And do not spend your day over petty things, for the One Who records everything is (always) with you. Always do good deeds, for I do not know of quicker recompense for an old sin than the new good deed. Indeed, Allah, Most High has said (in the Qur’an): ’Surely, the good deeds blot out the evil deeds; this is reminder for those who remember.’ (Hood, 11:4)"
3 - قال: أخبرني أبو جعفر محمد بن علي قال: حدثنا محمد بن علي، عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم ، عن محمد بن علي الكوفي، عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبي النعمان ، عن أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام قال
قال لي: يا أبا النعمان لا يغرنك الناس من نفسك، فإن الأمر يصل إليك دونهم، و لا تقطع نهارك بكذا وكذا فإن معك منه يحصي عليك، وأحسن فإني لم أر أشد طلبا ولا أسرع دركا من حسنة محدثة لذنب قديم، إن الله جل وعز يقول: " إن الحسنات يذهبن السيئات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين " .
