۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “On the Resurrection Day, they will bring an old man and hand him his record of deeds in a way that he can see it but the people cannot see what is written on it. He will see nothing but a long list of bad deeds that are recorded. He asks God if He orders him to enter Hell. God the Almighty will say: “O' old man! I am ashamed to punish you since you prayed for Me all your life. Take My servant to Heaven.”
عن الصادق (عليه السلام) قال
يؤتى بالشيخ يوم القيامة فيدفع إليه كتابه ظاهرة مما يلي الناس، لا يرى إلا مساوي فيطول ذلك عليه، فيقول: يا رب أتأمرني إلى النار؟ فيقول الجبار جل جلاله: يا شيخ، إني أستحي أن أعذبك وقد كنت تصلي في دار الدنيا، اذهبوا بعبدي إلى الجنة.
