أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ اللُّؤْلُؤِیِّ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: عَبَدَ اللَّهَ عَابِدٌ ثَمَانِینَ سَنَهً ثُمَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَی امْرَأَهٍ فَوَقَعَتْ فِی نَفْسِهِ فَنَزَلَ إِلَیْهَا فَرَاوَدَهَا عَنْ نَفْسِهَا فَطَاوَعَتْهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَی مِنْهَا حَاجَتَهُ طَرَقَ مَلَکُ الْمَوْتِ فَاعْتُقِلَ لِسَانُهُ فَمَرَّ سَائِلٌ فَأَشَارَ إِلَیْهِ أَنْ خُذْ رَغِیفاً کَانَ فِی کِسَائِهِ فَأَحْبَطَ اللَّهُ عَمَلَ ثَمَانِینَ سَنَهً بِتِلْکَ الزِّنْیَهِ وَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِذَلِکَ الرَّغِیفِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar from Muhammad b. Ahmad from al-Hassan b. al-Hassan al-Lu’lu’ee who raised it to from ’Amru b. Shimr from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “A worshipper prayed to Allah for eighty years. Then he fell in love with a woman and fulfilled his desires with her. When the angel of death approached him, he became mute. A beggar happened to pass by. That person pointed out the beggar to take the piece of bread lying in his pocket. The Almighty Allah had destroyed his worship of eighty years due to the adultery committed by him but He forgave him for offering that piece of bread.”
