Jabir ibn Yazeed al-Juafa narrated that Imam Baqir (a.s) said
“On the Resurrection Day God will leave believers to be free to do whatever they like”. Jabir asked him where this is written in God's Book. He said: “There will be for them therein all that they wish, and more besides in Our Presence.” [The Holy Quran: Qaf 50:35] Then he said: “O' Jabir! Do not seek help from our enemies. Do not ask them for any water or food since they will reside in Hell forever. If they see a believer pass by they will claim that they did something for him. Then the believer will be ashamed, and save them from the Fire. This is why a believer is called “Mumin” which in Arabic means “One who grants immunity.” Once a believer grants someone immunity, God will honor it.”
عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي قال
قال لي أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): إن المؤمن ليفوض الله إليه يوم القيامة فيصنع ما شاء، قلت: حدثني في كتاب الله أين قال؟ قال: قوله ﴿لهم ما يشاؤون فيها ولدينا مزيد﴾ فمشيئة الله مفوضة إليه والمزيد من الله ما لا يحصى. ثم قال: يا جابر، ولا تستعن بعدو لنا في حاجة ولا تستطعمه ولا تسأله شربة، أما أنه ليخلد في النار فيمر به المؤمن فيقول: يا مؤمن، ألست فعلت بك كذا وكذا، فيستحي منه فيستنقذوه من النار، وإنما سمي المؤمن مؤمنا لأنه يؤمن على الله فيجيز الله أمانه.
