Mohammed bin Ali bin Majilwayh (r) said to us that Mohammed bin Yahya narrated to him… from
Hanzhala that
Maisar said that Abu alHasan ar-Ridha said
"No two of you will be seen in Hell. Furthermore, no single one of you will be seen in Hell." I said: "How can this be proved through the Book of Allah?" The Imam did not answer me for a whole year. On the Circumambulating day of the next year, he said to me: "O Maisar, only today I am permitted to answer your last question." I said: "Well, how can it be proved through the Book of Allah?" He (a) said: This is in sura of Arrahman. It is: "On that day, no mankind -among you- or jinn will be asked about his sin (55:39)." I said: "This Verse does not include ’among you’ that you have said." He (a) answered: "The first one who distorted the Verse was son of Arwa, because it was evidence against his acquaintances and him. Without the existence of ’among you’ in the Verse, the sentence of the punishment of Allah, Powerful and Majestic is He, will cease to be valid for all the creatures. If Allah will not ask any man or jinn about his sin, whom will he punish on the Day of Resurrection, then?"
