Kitāb al-Zuhd

فضالة عن ربعي عن الفضيل عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إن آخر من يخرج من النار لرجل يقال له: همام (هام) ينادى فيها عمرا: يا حنان يا منان.

6.Faḍālah narrated from Ribʿī, from al-Fuḍayl, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “Verily the last one to come out of the Fire will be a man called Hammām, who will call out therein [continually] for a lifetime: ‘O Compassionate! O Munificent!’”

محمد بن أبي عمير عن عبد الرحمن بن الحجاج قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: حديث يروونه الناس فقال: انه ليس كما يقولون ثم قالا: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله:ان آخر عبد يؤمر به إلى النار فإذا أمر به إلى النار التفت فيقول (الله عز وجل) الجبار: (أ) عجلوه فإذا اتى به قال له: (عبدي) لم التفت؟ فيقول: يا رب ما كان ظني بك هذا فيقول (الله جل جلاله: عبدي) وما كان ظنك بي؟ فيقول (يا رب) كان ظني بك ان تغفر لي خطيئتي وتسكنني (وتدخلني خ ل) جنتك فيقول (الله) الجبار جل وعلا: يا ملائكتي وعزتي (وآلائي وبلائي) وجلالي وعلوي وارتفاع مكاني ما ظن بي عبدي ساعة من (حياته) خيرا (ا) قط ولو ظن بي ساعة من (حياته) خير (ا) ما روعته بالنار، أجيزوا (له) كذبه وادخلوه الجنة ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله (أبو عبد الله عليه السلام): ليس من عبد ظن (ما ظن عبد) بالله خيرا الا كان (الله) عند ظنه به ولا ظن به سوءا الا كان (الله) عند ظنه به وذلك قوله تعالى (عز وجل) (وذلكم ظنكم الذي ظننتم بربكم أرداكم فأصبحتم من الخاسرين)

7.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al-Ḥajjāj who said, “I told Abū ʿAbdillāh (a), ‘There is a ḥadīth that people are narrating [and then he mentioned it to him].’ So he said, ‘It is not as they are saying.’ Then he said, ‘The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, “Verily the last person will then be ordered into the Fire. When it is commanded that he be thrown into the fire, he will turn [and look back]. So Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful, will say, ‘Have they been hasty with him? [Bring him to Me].’ So when he is brought, He will ask, ‘My servant, why did You turn to look back?’ So he will say, ‘O Lord, this was not how I had perceived You to be!’ So the Majestic Lord will say, ‘My servant, what was your perception of Me?’ He will reply, ‘O Lord, I had thought that You would forgive my sins and admit me into Your Paradise [to dwell therein]!’ So Allah, the All-Powerful, Majestic and Exalted is He, will say, ‘O My angels, by My might and bounty, by My mastery and majesty, by My loftiness and exalted station, My servant never thought positively of Me even for a moment in his life, for if he had thought positively of Me even for a single moment of his life, I would not have frightened him with the Fire. Yet let his lie stand, and place him in Paradise.’” Then the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, “A servant does not think positively of Allah but that he will find Allah to be as he had thought of Him. And he does not think negatively of Him but that he will find Allah to be as he had thought of Him. That is the [interpretation of] the verse in which He,the Exalted, says: It was the [negative] thoughts you entertained about your Lord that has led to your ruin, so you have become losers (Q41:23).”’”

محمد بن أبي عمير (رفعه) عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: يؤتى بعبد يوم القيامة ليست له حسنة فيقال له: أذكر وتذكر هل لك حسنة؟ قال: فيذكر فيقول: يا رب مالي من حسنة الا أن عبدك فلانا المؤمن مربى فطلب منى ماءا يتوضأ به فيصلى به فأعطيته قال: فيقول الله تبارك وتعالى: أدخلوا عبدي الجنة.

8.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr attributed it to Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) that he said, “A servant will be brought on the Day of Judgment having no good deed [in his record], so it will be said to him, ‘Remember and recollect, do you have any good deed?’ So he will [try to] recall and will say, ‘My Lord, I have no good deed except that Your believing servant so-and-so passed by [one day] and asked me for water so that he could perform ablution and pray, so I gave it to him.’ So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will say, ‘Admit My servant into Paradise.’”

محمد بن أبي عمير عن عبد الرحمن بن الحجاج عن الأحول عن حمران قال: سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: إن الكفار والمشركين (يعيرون) يرون أهل التوحيد في النار فيقولون: ما نرى توحيدكم أغنى عنكم شيئا وما أنتم ونحن الأسواء قال: فيأنف لهم الرب عز وجل فيقول الملائكة: اشفعوا فيشفعون لمن شاء الله ويقول للمؤمنين: مثل ذلك حتى إذا لم يبق أحد (الا) تبلغه الشفاعة قال تبارك وتعالى: أنا أرحم الراحمين أخرجوا برحمتي فيخرجون كما يخرج الفراش قال: ثم قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: ثم مدت العمد وأعمدت (واصمدت) عليهم وكان والله الخلود

9.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn al- Ḥajjāj, from al-Aḥwal, from Ḥumrān who said, “I heard Abā Jaʿfar (a) say, ‘Verily the disbelievers and the polytheists will taunt the monotheists in the Fire saying, “We do not see how your belief in one God benefitted you in any way. You and us are indeed the same!” So the Lord, to Whom belong might and majesty, will dislike that for them and will say to the angels, ‘Intercede [for them],’ so they will intercede for whomever Allah wills, and He will say the same to the believers [telling them to also intercede for them] until no one [among them] remains but that the intercession reaches him. Then He, the Blessed and Exalted, will say, ‘I am the Most Merciful of all who show mercy. Come out [from the Fire] by My mercy!’ So they will come out [therefrom] like moths.” Then Abū Jaʿfar (a) said, “Then the columns will be extended over them [closing them off], and it will be, by Allah, [for] eternity.”[1]

النضر بن سويد عن درست عن أبي جعفر الأحول عن حمران قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: انه بلغنا أنه يأتي على جهنم حتى يصطفى أبوابها فقال: لا والله انه الخلود قلت: (خالدين فيها ما دامت السماوات والأرض الا ما شاء ربك)؟ فقال: هذه في الذين يخرجون من النار.

10.Al-Naḍr ibn Suwayd narrated from Durust, from Abū Jaʿfar al- Aḥwal, from Ḥumrān who said, “I told Abū ʿAbdillāh (a), ‘We have been informed that Hell will be filled until its gates are [crammed] shut[1] [is that true]?’ So he said, ‘No, by Allah, it is [going to remain as it is] for eternity!’ I asked, ‘[What about the verse that states:] [They will] remain therein forever, as long as the heavens and the earth will endure, except what your Lord wills (Q11:107)?’ He said, ‘That is for those who will come out from the Fire [with the permission of Allah].’”

الحسن بن محبوب عن أبي حمزة عن أبي إسحاق قال: قال علي عليه السلام: لأحدثنكم بحديث يحق على كل مؤمن أن يعيه فحدثنا به غداة ونسينه عشية قال: فرجعنا إليه فقلنا له: الحديث الذي حدثتنا به غداة نسيناه وقلت: هو حق على كل مؤمن ان يعيه فأعده علينا فقال: انه ما من مسلم يذنب ذنبا فيعفو الله عنه في الدنيا الا كان أجل وأكرم من أن يعود عليه بعقوبة في الآخرة وقد أجله في الدنيا وتلا هذه الآية: (وما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم ويعفو عن كثير).

11.Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb narrated from Abū Ḥamzah, from Abū Isḥāq who said, “ʿAlī (a) said, ‘I will surely tell you a ḥadīth that it behoves every believer to be aware of [and remember].’ He related it to us in the morning but we forgot it by nightfall. So we returned to him and said, ‘We have forgotten the ḥadīth you told us in the morning, and you had said that it behoves every believer to be aware of it, so please repeat it [for us].’ So he said, ‘There is no believer who commits a sin and is then pardoned for it by Allah in this world, but that Allah is more majestic and noble than to punish him again for it in the Hereafter after having [pardoned him and] granted him respite in the world.’ Then he recited the verse: Whatever affliction befalls you is because of what your own hands have committed, and He pardons much. (Q42:30).”

فضيل بن عثمان عن أبي عبيدة الحذاء قال: قلت لأبي جعفر عليه السلام جعلت فداك ادع الله لي فان لي ذنوبا كثيرة فقال: مه يا أبا عبيدة لا يكون الشيطان عونا على نفسك ان عفو الله لا يشبهه شئ.

12.Fuḍayl ibn ʿUthmān narrated from Abū ʿUbaydah al-Ḥadhdhāʾ who said, “I told Abū Jaʿfar, ‘May I be made your ransom! Pray to Allah for me, for verily I have [committed] many sins.’ So he said, ‘Stop, O Abā ʿUbaydah! Let Satan not be a helper of your base-self. Verily the pardon [and forgiveness] of Allah cannot be compared to anything.’”

حدثنا الحسين بن سعيد قال حدثنا الحسن بن محبوب عن علي بن رئاب عن أبي بصير عن أحدهما عليهما السلام قال: إذا كان يوم الجمعة وأهل الجنة في الجنة وأهل النار في النار عرف أهل الجنة يوم الجمعة لما يرون من تضاعف اللذة والسرور وعرف أهل النار يوم الجمعة وذلك أنه تبطش بهم الزبانية.

1.Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd narrated to us saying, “Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb narrated to us, from ʿAlī ibn Riʾāb, from Abū Baṣīr, from one of the two [Imams] (a) who said, ‘When it is Friday and the people of Paradise are in Paradise while the people of Hell are in the Fire, the inhabitants of Paradise will know that it is Friday due to what they witness of enhanced pleasure and joy, while the denizens of Hell will know that it is Friday because of the [increased] torment by the wardens of Hell.’”

الحسن بن محبوب عن علي بن رئاب (رباب) عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: إذا كان يوم القيامة نادت الجنة ربها فقالت: يا رب أنت العدل قد ملأت النار من أهلها كما وعدتها ولم تملأني كما وعدتني قال: فيخلق الله خلقا لم يروا الدنيا فيملا بهم الجنة طوبى لهم.

2.Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbūb narrated from ʿAlī ibn Riʾāb, from Abū Jaʿfar (a) who said, “When the Day of Judgment comes, Paradise will call out to its Lord and say, ‘O Lord, You are the Just, and You have filled Hellwith its inmates as You promised it, yet You have not filed me as You promised me.’ So Allah will create a creation who shall not have seen the world and will fill Paradise with them – blessed shall they be.”

القاسم بن محمد عن علي عن أبي بصير قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام لا تقولوا جنة واحدة ان الله عز وجل يقول: (درجات بعضها فوق بعض).

3.Al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad narrated from ʿAlī, from Abū Baṣīr who said, “Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Do not say [there is but] a single garden [of Paradise]. Verily Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: [There are] levels, some above others.’”
