8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus from certain individuals of his people from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Once Moses was sitting when Satan came to him with a many-colored hooded cloak on him. When he approached Moses he took his cloak off, stood nearby, and offered him the greeting of peace. Moses asked, ‘Who are you?’ He replied, ‘I am Satan.’ Moses said, ‘Is it you? May Allah not bring you near by.’ Satan said, ‘I came to offer you greetings of peace because of your closeness to Allah.’ The Imam said, ‘Moses then asked, ‘What is this hooded cloak for?’ He said, ‘With this I kidnap the hearts of the children of Adam.’ Moses said, ‘Tell me which sin is it that when the children of Adam commit it you feel successful?’ He said, ‘It is when he feels self-important, his good deeds are a great deal and his sins trivial. ’ “The Imam said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, said to David, “O David, give good news to the sinners and warn the true believers.” He asked, ‘How should I give good news to the sinners and warn the true believers?’ Allah said, ‘Give good news to the sinners that I accept repentance and forgive their sins. Warn the true believers against feeling self-important due to their deeds. If I will ever make anyone settle his accounts, he is destroyed.’”
8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بَيْنَمَا مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) جَالِساً إِذْ أَقْبَلَ إِبْلِيسُ وَعَلَيْهِ بُرْنُسٌ ذُو أَلْوَانٍ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) خَلَعَ الْبُرْنُسَ وَقَامَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ أَنَا إِبْلِيسُ قَالَ أَنْتَ فَلا قَرَّبَ الله دَارَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ لأسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكَ لِمَكَانِكَ مِنَ الله قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَمَا هَذَا الْبُرْنُسُ قَالَ بِهِ أَخْتَطِفُ قُلُوبَ بَنِي آدَمَ فَقَالَ مُوسَى فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِالذَّنْبِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَذْنَبَهُ ابْنُ آدَمَ اسْتَحْوَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِذَا أَعْجَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ وَاسْتَكْثَرَ عَمَلَهُ وَصَغُرَ فِي عَيْنِهِ ذَنْبُهُ وَقَالَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِدَاوُدَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا دَاوُدُ بَشِّرِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَأَنْذِرِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ قَالَ كَيْفَ أُبَشِّرُ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَأُنْذِرُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ قَالَ يَا دَاوُدُ بَشِّرِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ أَنِّي أَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَأَعْفُو عَنِ الذَّنْبِ وَأَنْذِرِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ أَلا يُعْجَبُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ أَنْصِبُهُ لِلْحِسَابِ إِلا هَلَكَ.
