Hadith 1075
۞
My father (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhamad b. Yahya al-`Attar narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Yahya b. `Imran al-Ash`ari narrated to us from al-Hasan b. `Ali al-Kufi from al-`Abbas b. `Amer from Ahmad b. Rizq al-Ghamshani from Yahya b. Abi'l `Ala’ from Jabir from Abi Ja`far (as). He said
A worshiper will spend seventy winters in the Fire, and each winter will be equivalent to seventy years. He said: Then, he will ask Allah: “By the right of Muhammad and his Ahl al-Bayt, why did You not have mercy on me?” He said: So, Allah will reveal to Gabriel: “Descend to My worshiper and remove him.” He will say: “O Lord! How will I descend into the Fire?” He will say: “I have commanded it to be cool and peaceful for you.” He will say: “O Lord! I do not know where he is.” So, He will say: “He is in a pit in Sijjin.” He said: So, he will descend into the Fire, and find him chained up and upon his face. He will take him out. So, He will say: “O My servant! How long did you call for Me in the Fire?” He said: “I cannot comprehend it, my Lord.” He will say: “By My glory! Had you not asked, I would have prolonged your torment in the Fire. However, I have written upon Myself that no worshiper shall ask Me by the right of Muhammad and his Ahl al-Bayt except that I will forgive him for what is between him and I. So, I have forgiven you today.”
4 - حدثنا أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الاشعري، عن الحسن بن علي الكوفي، عن العباس بن عامر، عن أحمد بن رزق الغمشاني، عن يحيى بن أبي العلاء، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر الباقر (عليه السلام)، قال
إن عبدا مكث في النار سبعين خريفا، والخريف سبعون سنة. قال: ثم إنه سأل الله عز وجل: بحق محمد وأهل بيته لما رحمتني. قال: فأوحى الله جل جلاله إلى جبرئيل: أن اهبط إلى عبدي فأخرجه. قال: يا رب، وكيف لي بالهبوط في النار؟ قال: إني قد أمرتها أن تكون عليك بردا وسلاما. قال: يا رب، فما علمي بموضعه؟ فقال عز وجل: إنه في جب من سجين. قال: فهبط في النار فوجده وهو معقول على وجهه فأخرجه، فقال عز وجل: يا عبدي، كم لبثت تناشدني في النار؟ قال: ما أحصيه يا رب. قال: أما وعزتي لولا ما سألتني به لاطلت هوانك في النار، ولكنه حتمت على نفسي أن لا يسألني عبد بحق محمد وأهل بيته إلا غفرت له ما كان بيني وبينه، وقد غفرت لك اليوم (1).
