3. And from the previous chain from Salamah from Ali b. al-Hassan from Ahmad b. Muhammad Mu’addab from ’Asim b. Hameed from Khalid al-Qalanisi from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“Allah feels ashamed to punish a person aged eighty. An elderly person will be brought on the Day of Judgment and his scroll of deeds will be handed over to him. People will see nothing in it except unpleasant things. He will say, ‘O Lord! Will you throw me also into Hell?’ Allah will reply, ‘O elderly! You used to offer Salaat in the world for. I feel ashamed to throw you in Hell’, and he will be ordered to be taken to Paradise.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُؤَدِّبِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَیْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْقَلَانِسِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ یَسْتَحِی مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الثَّمَانِینَ أَنْ یُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ قَالَ ع یُؤْتَی بِشَیْخٍ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ فَیُدْفَعُ إِلَیْهِ کِتَابُهُ ظَاهِرُهُ فِیمَا یَلِی النَّاسَ لَا یَرَی إِلَّا مَسَاوِیَ فَیَطُولُ ذَلِکَ عَلَیْهِ فَیَقُولُ یَا رَبِّ أَ تُعِیدُنِی إِلَی النَّارِ فَیَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ یَا شَیْخُ إِنِّی أَسْتَحِی أَنْ أُعَذِّبَکَ وَ قَدْ کُنْتَ تُصَلِّی لِی فِی دَارِ الدُّنْیَا اذْهَبُوا بِعَبْدِی إِلَی الْجَنَّهِ.
