Hadith 31
۞
My father (rh) narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated from `Ali b. Ma`bad from al-Husayn b. Khalid from `Ali b. Musa al-Rida from his father from his forefathers from Amir al-Mu’minin. He said
The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whomever does not believe in my Pond, Allah will not direct him to my Pond. Whomever does not believe in my intercession, then I will not intercede to Allah for him. Then, he (s) said: Surely, my intercession is for those of my Nation who have committed major sins. As for the pious, they will have no need for it. Al-Husayn b. Khalid said: So I said to al-Rida (as): O son of the Messenger of Allah! What is the meaning of the saying of Allah, “They do not intercede except for whom He approves.” (21:28)? He said: They will not intercede except for those whose religion Allah approves of.
حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم ابن هاشم، عن علي بن معبد، عن الحسين بن خالد، عن علي بن موسى الرضا، عن أبيه، عن آبائه، عن أمير المؤمنين (عليهم السلام)، قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من لم يؤمن بحوضي فلا أورده الله حوضي، ومن لم يؤمن بشفاعتي فلا أنا له الله شفاعتي، ثم قال (صلى الله عليه وآله): إنما شفاعتي لاهل الكبائر من أمتي، فأما المحسنون فما عليهم من سبيل. قال الحسين بن خالد: فقلت للرضا (عليه السلام): يا بن رسول الله، فما معنى قول الله عز وجل: (ولا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى) (2)؟ قال: لا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى الله دينه (3).
