حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنِ الْعَمِّیِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَبَی اللَّهُ تَعَالَی لِصَاحِبِ الْبِدْعَهِ بِالتَّوْبَهِ قِیلَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ کَیْفَ ذَلِکَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُشْرِبَ قَلْبُهُ حُبَّهَا.

5. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan from Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ya’qub b. Yazid from al-’Ama by his chain who said: “The Almighty Allah will not accept the repentance of a person who starts an innovation.” He was asked, “Why is it so?” He replied, “It is because the person has kept the love of innovation in his heart.”

6. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from his father from Harun b. al-Jahm from Ja’far b. Umar from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person who takes a single step towards a person who does innovation and respects him is certainly like a person who has taken a step to destroy Islam.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Ahmad b. al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Uthman b. Isa from some of his companions from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) said: “The Almighty Allah has created a house in Paradise as well as in Hell for each and every creature. When the people of Paradise and Hell go to their respective houses, a call will be given out: O people of Paradise! Look down. When the people look down they will see their houses in Hell. They will be told: You would have been given those had you disobeyed Allah. The people of Paradise will die out of happiness for being saved. Then the people of Hell will be told: O people of Hell! Look above your heads. They will lift their heads and look above. They will be able to see their houses filled with bounties in Paradise. They will be told: You would have been given these had you followed the commands of Allah. The people of Hell will die out of the grief. They will be given their respective houses which they deserved. This is the exegesis of the verse of Allah, in which He says: These are they who are the heirs. Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall be the heirs. Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall be the heirs. Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall be the heirs. Who shall inherit the Paradise; they shall abide therein. abide therein.abide therein.abide therein.”

1. It was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Abi from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Muhammad b. Ismail from Ali b. al-Hakam from his father from Abi al-Jarud from ’Amru b. Qays al-Mashraqi who said: “I can see dye applied on your hair. Are your hairs turning white?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes it is the dye which I have applied. We, the Hashemites turn old soon.” Then Imam glanced at the narrator and asked, “Have you come for my help?” The narrator replied, “I have become aged and turned old. I have huge loans on my head and I have a large family. I am also having the things of other people with me kept as trust. I don’t know what will happen to me if I go with you? I don’t want to deprive so many people of their trust.” The cousin also gave similar excuses for not accompanying the Imam (a.s.). Upon this, Imam (a.s.) told them, “Go away from this place as if you have not heard me asking for help because one who hears an Imam asking for help and turns a deaf ear, will be thrown headlong into Hell.”

1. It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who takes up the leadership of ten persons and is not able to do justice to them, will come on the Day of Judgment with his hands, feet and head perforated.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said that a caller will call out on the Day of Judgment, “Where are oppressors and their helpers? Those who bring ink for them, who prepare bags for them and those who hold the pen for them; all are included among their helpers.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا اقْتَرَبَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا تَبَاعَدَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا کَثُرَ مَالُهُ إِلَّا اشْتَدَّ حِسَابُهُ وَ لَا کَثُرَ تَبِعَتُهُ إِلَّا کَثُرَتْ شَیَاطِینُهُ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who becomes proximate to a king is away from Allah. His wealth might have increased but his accounting will be tough. The number of his followers must have increased but all of them are devils.”
