Hadith 1018
۞
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Nuhayki from ‘Ammar ibn Marwan al- Qandi from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“Minor sins are not minor if one persists committing such sins and major sins are not major if followed by plea for forgiveness.”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّهِيكِيِّ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ الْقَنْدِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
لا صَغِيرَةَ مَعَ الإصْرَارِ وَلا كَبِيرَةَ مَعَ الإسْتِغْفَارِ.
