Hadith 909
۞
By this isnad from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr from `Abdullah b. Sinan from Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq (as). He said
The Messenger of Allah (s) said one day to `Ali (as): Shall I not give you glad tidings? So, he said: Of course, may my mother and my father be your sacrifice. Surely, you do not stop giving glad tidings with every good thing. So, he said: Gabriel informed me of something astonishing. So, `Ali (as) said to him: What did he inform you of, O Messenger of Allah? He said: He informed me that, when a man from my Nation blesses me and follows it up with blessing my Ahl al-Bayt, the gates of heaven open for him, and the angels bless him seventy times. If he is an erring sinner, the sins will shed from him just as leaves shed from a tree. Furthermore, Allah says: “I am at your service, My servant”; and Allah says to His angels: “O My angels! You bless him seventy times, and I bless him seven hundred times.” If he blesses me without following it up with blessing my Ahl al-Bayt, there will be seventy veils between him and heaven; and Allah will say: “I am not at your service. O angels! Do not bring up his supplications until he follows the Prophet up with his progeny [in blessing].” So, it will remain suspended until he follows me up with my Ahl al-Bayt.
18 - وبهذا الاسناد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن أبي عبد الله الصادق (عليه السلام)، قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): ذات يوم لعلي (عليه السلام): ألا أبشرك؟ فقال: بلى بأبي أنت وامي، فإنك لم تزل مبشرا بكل خير. فقال: أخبرني جبرئيل آنفا بالعجب. فقال له علي (عليه السلام): وما الذي أخبرك يا رسول الله؟ قال: أخبرني أن الرجل من أمتي إذا صلى علي وأتبع بالصلاة على أهل بيتي، فتحت له أبواب السماء وصلت عليه الملائكة سبعين صلاة، وإن كان مذنبا خطاء، ثم تتحات عنه الذنوب كما يتحات الورق من الشجر، ويقول الله تبارك وتعالى: لبيك يا عبدي وسعديك، ويقول الله لملائكته: يا ملائكتي، أنتم تصلون عليه سبعين صلاة، وأنا أصلي عليه سبعمائة صلاة. وإذا صلى علي ولم يتبع بالصلاة على أهل بيتي، كان بينها وبين السماء سبعون حجابا، ويقول الله جل جلاله: لا لبيك ولا سعديك، يا ملائكتي لا تصعدوا دعاءه إلا أن يلحق بنبي عترته، فلا يزال محجوبا حتى يلحق بي أهل بيتي (1).
