5. We were told by my father, and Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant them both mercy, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d ibn Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali al-Washha’, from Ahmad bin ‘A’idh, from Abu Khadija, Salem bin Makram, the Cameleer, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, with regards to the saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «except for the weakened ones from the men, women and children; they cannot devise a plan, nor are they guided to a path» (4:98), so he said
They are unable to devise a plan towards Nusb [1] by which they antagonize, nor are guided to the path of the people of the truth by which they enter into it. These people will enter Paradise for good deeds and by refraining from the forbidden things which Allah, Exalted an Glorious is He, has prohibited, and they will not attain the ranks of the righteous.
حدثنا أبي، ومحمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رحمهما الله - قالا: حدثنا سعد ابن عبد الله قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي والوشاء، عن أحمد بن عائذ، عن أبي خديجة سالم بن مكرم الجمال، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله عز وجل: " إلا المستضعفين من الرجال والنساء والولدان لا يستطيعون حيلة ولا يهتدون سبيلا " فقال
لا يستطيعون حيلة إلى النصب فينصبون ولا يهتدون سبيل أهل الحق فيدخلون فيه، وهؤلاء يدخلون الجنة بأعمال حسنة وباجتناب المحارم التي نهى الله عز وجل عنها ولا ينالون منازل الأبرار.
