Hadith 1036
۞
10. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “If illegitimate children are forgiven, the person who went around Bani Israel will be forgiven.” Imam was asked, “Who is the person who went around Bani Israel?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “He was a worshipper. He was told that illegitimate children will not be purified and none of their deeds will be accepted. The worshipper emerged in the mountains and asked: What is my fault in it?”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَابِدٍ عَنْ أَبِی خَدِیجَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
لَوْ کَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ وَلَدِ الزِّنَاءِ نَجَا نَجَا سَائِحُ بَنِی إِسْرَائِیلَ فَقِیلَ لَهُ وَ مَا سَائِحُ بَنِی إِسْرَائِیلَ قَالَ کَانَ عَابِداً فَقِیلَ لَهُ إِنَّ وَلَدَ الزِّنَاءِ لَا یَطِیبُ أَبَداً وَ لَا یَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ عَمَلًا قَالَ فَخَرَجَ یَسِیحُ بَیْنَ الْجِبَالِ وَ یَقُولُ مَا ذَنْبِی.
