8 - عَنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام): لَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ بِكَلِمَتَيْنِ دَعَا بِهِمَا، قَالَ: " للهُمَّ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذلِكَ أَنَا، وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذلِكَ أَنْتَ" فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ.
8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Mahbub from Aban from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘A’Yun who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, forgave a man from the village by two words with which he pleaded before Allah. He said, O Lord, if You punish me, it is because I deserve it and if You forgive me it is worthy of You (Your greatness) and (for this) Allah granted him forgiveness.’”
