۞
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Nasir abu al-Hakim al-Khath’ami from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“There are two kinds of believing people: one kind is true to the covenant with Allah and has kept the stipulation as Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has said, ‘Among the believers there are people who are true in their promise to Allah. . . .’ (33:23) This kind of believing people do not become subject to any fear, worldly or in the hereafter. They are those who intercede for others but need no intercession. There are the kinds of believing people who are like a sprouting plant that grows straight sometimes and not so straight under certain conditions. This kind of believing people may become subject to fear in this world as well as in the next life. They need intercession but cannot intercede for anyone.”
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ نُصَيْرٍ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنَانِ فَمُؤْمِنٌ صَدَقَ بِعَهْدِ الله وَوَفَى بِشَرْطِهِ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا الله عَلَيْهِ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي لا تُصِيبُهُ أَهْوَالُ الدُّنْيَا وَلا أَهْوَالُ الآخِرَةِ وَذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ يَشْفَعُ وَلا يُشْفَعُ لَهُ وَمُؤْمِنٌ كَخَامَةِ الزَّرْعِ تَعْوَجُّ أَحْيَاناً وَتَقُومُ أَحْيَاناً فَذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ تُصِيبُهُ أَهْوَالُ الدُّنْيَا وَأَهْوَالُ الآخِرَةِ وَذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ يُشْفَعُ لَهُ وَلا يَشْفَعُ.
