Jabir narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “God the Almighty revealed the following to the Prophet Shu'aib (a.s): “I shall punish one hundred thousand people from your nation. Forty thousand of them are from the wicked ones, and sixty thousand of them are from the good people.” Shu'aib (a.s) asked: “
You punish the bad people. Why are the good people punished?” God the Almighty revealed to him: “They are the people who got along with the sinners, and were not worried about My Anger.”
وعن جابر عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال
أوحى الله تعالى إلى شعيب النبي: إني معذب من قومك مائة ألف، أربعين ألفا من شرارهم وستين ألفا من خيارهم، فقال: يا رب، هؤلاء الأشرار فما بال الأخيار؟ فأوحى الله عز وجل إليه: داهنوا أهل المعاصي فلم يغضبوا لغضبي.
