Imam Baqir (a.s): “If one truly repents, God likes to cover up his sins in the world and the Hereafter.” He was asked: “How does God cover up the sins?” Imam Baqir (a.s) said: “He will make both guardian angels forget whatever they have recorded in the letter of deeds regarding his sins, He will reveal to his body parts to cover up whatever sins he has done with them, and He will reveal to the places on Earth where the sins where committed to cover up the sins. Thus when he goes to meet his Lord in the Hereafter, there are no effects of his sins which are left.”
وقال (عليه السلام): إذا تاب العبد توبة نصوحا أحب الله عز وجل أن يستر عليه في الدنيا والآخرة، فقلت: وكيف يستر عليه؟ قال: ينسي ملكيه ما كتبا عليه من الذنوب ويوحي إلى جوارحه أن اكتمي عليه ذنوبه، ويوحي إلى بقاع الأرض أن اكتمي عليه ما كان يعمل عليك من الذنوب، فيلقى الله حين يلقاه وليس عليه شئ من الذنوب.
