Thawāb al-Aʿmāl wa ʿiqāb al-Aʿmāl

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمُتَکَبِّرِینَ یُجْعَلُونَ فِی صُورَهِ الذَّرِّ یَتَوَطَّأُ بِهِمُ النَّاسُ حَتَّی یَفْرُغَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ.

10. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Surely proud people will be reduced to the size of small ants on the Day of Judgment and people will ridicule them till Allah concludes accounting of all the people.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ جُمَیْعٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْجَبَّارُونَ أَبْعَدُ النَّاسِ مِنَ اللَّهِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ.

11. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from ’Amru b. Jamee’ from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “Proud people will be farthest from Allah on the Day of Judgment.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِیدِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ جَمِیلٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثَهٌ لا یُکَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ لا یَنْظُرُ إِلَیْهِمْ ... وَ لا یُزَکِّیهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِیمٌ شَیْخٌ زَانٍ وَ مَلِکٌ جَبَّارٌ وَ مُقِلٌّ مُخْتَالٌ.

12. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah will not talk to three types of people on the Day of Judgment and neither will He send mercy upon them. They will not be consoled and shall get severe punishment. Those three are – an aged fornicator, a despotic ruler and person who is proud.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain b. Abi al-Khattab from Abdillah al-Khorasani from al-Hussain b. Salim from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If a person brought up in his community commits sins and people do not punish him from his crimes, the first chastisement from Allah upon them is that their sustenance will be reduced.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ یَعْقُوبَ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِیثَمِیِّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْکَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ ثَلَاثَهٌ یُعَذَّبُونَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَهً مِنَ الْحَیَوَانِ یُعَذَّبُ حَتَّی یَنْفُخَ فِیهَا وَ لَیْسَ بِنَافِخٍ فِیهَا وَ الَّذِی یَکْذِبُ فِی مَنَامِهِ یُعَذَّبُ حَتَّی یَعْقِدَ بَیْنَ شَعِیرَتَیْنِ وَ لَیْسَ بِعَاقِدِهِمَا وَ الْمُسْتَمِعُ مِنْ قَوْمٍ وَ هُمْ لَهُ کَارِهُونَ یُصَبُّ فِی أُذُنَیْهِ الْآنُکُ وَ هُوَ الْأُسْرُبُّ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Three kinds of people will be punished on the Day of Judgment – a person who draws a picture of an animal. He will get punishment from the time soul enters his body and he cannot blow spirit into it on his own. A person who narrates false dreams will be punished as long as two grains of maize continue to meet and he himself cannot make the two grains meet. Molten lead will be poured into the ears of the one who listens to that which is detested by the people.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “A person who laughs while committing a sin will enter Hell weeping.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارُ عَنِ الْعَمْرَکِیِّ الْخُرَاسَانِیِّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یُؤْمَرُ بِرِجَالٍ إِلَی النَّارِ فَیَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ لِمَالِکٍ قُلْ لِلنَّارِ لَا تُحْرِقِی لَهُمْ أَقْدَاماً فَقَدْ کَانُوا یَمْشُونَ بِهَا إِلَی الْمَسَاجِدِ وَ لَا تُحْرِقِی لَهُمْ وُجُوهاً فَقَد کَانُوا یُسْبِغُونَ الْوُضُوءَ وَ لَا تُحْرِقِی لَهُمْ أَیْدِیاً فَقَدْ کَانُوا یَرْفَعُونَهَا بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ لَا تُحْرِقِی لَهُمْ أَلْسِنَهً فَقَدْ کَانُوا یُکْثِرُونَ تِلَاوَهَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ فَیَقُولُ لَهُمْ خَازِنُ النَّارِ یَا أَشْقِیَاءُ مَا کَانَ حَالُکُمْ قَالُوا کُنَّا نَعْمَلُ لِغَیْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقِیلَ لَنَا خُذُوا ثَوَابَکُمْ مِمَّنْ عَمِلْتُمْ لَهُمْ.

1. Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Some people will be ordered to be thrown into Hell on the Day of Judgment. The Almighty Allah will ask the angel of fire not to burn their feet for they walked with them to the mosque. Also He will order not to burn their faces for they used to face Allah while supplicating. He will order not to burn their tongues for they used to recite Quran excessively. The attendant of Hell will ask those people about their sin. They will reply that they used to perform good deeds for others instead of Allah. Those people will be ordered to go and ask for reward from the persons for whom they performed good deeds.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِیِّ عَنِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ عَلِیٌّ ع مَنْ أَطَاعَ امْرَأَتَهُ کَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَی وَجْهِهِ فِی النَّارِ قِیلَ وَ مَا تِلْکَ الطَّاعَهُ قَالَ تَطْلُبُ إِلَیْهِ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ إِلَی الْحَمَّامَاتِ وَ إِلَی الْأَعْرَاسِ وَ إِلَی النَّائِحَاتِ وَ الثِّیَابِ الرِّقَاقِ فَیُجِیبُهَا.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “A person who obeys his wife will be thrown headlong into Hell.” Imam (a.s.) was asked what he meant by obedience of wife. He replied, “Here obedience means that the wife asks her husband to accompany her to bath, weddings, sermons etc. while she hasn’t covered her body properly, and he agrees.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنِ السِّنْدِیِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ یَحْیَی عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أُقْعِدَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَخْیَارِ فِی قَبْرِهِ قِیلَ لَهُ یَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ إِنَّا جَالِدُوکَ مِائَهَ جَلْدَهٍ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَا أُطِیقُهَا فَلَمْ یَزَالُوا بِهِ حَتَّی انْتَهَوْا إِلَی جَلْدَهٍ وَاحِدَهٍ فَقَالُوا لَیْسَ مِنْهَا بُدٌّ فَقَالَ فِیمَا تَجْلِدُونِّی فِیهَا قَالُوا إِنَّکَ صَلَّیْتَ یَوْماً بِغَیْرِ وُضُوءٍ وَ مَرَرْتَ عَلَی ضَعِیفٍ فَلَمْ تَنْصُرْهُ قَالَ فجلده [فَجَلَدُوهُ] جَلْدَهً مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَامْتَلَأَ قَبْرُهُ نَاراً.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from al-Sindi b. Muhammad from Safwan b. Yahya from Safwan b. Mihran al-Jamal from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A virtuous person will be made to sit inside a grave and told that he will be punished with a hundred lashes. He will say that he does not have the strength to bear that punishment. The punishment will be reduced continuously on his insistence till it is brought to a single lash. He will be told that a single lash is the minimum possible. That person will ask the reason for the punishment. He would be told that one day he offered Salaat without Wuzu and passed by a poor man without helping him. The person will be given punishment of one lash and because of which his grave will become full of fire.”

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to us by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Abi Abdillah from Abi al-Jawzaa’ from al-Hussain b. Alwan from Mundhir from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “O Master! How is it possible that a person goes to Paradise because of a house fly and another into Hell because of it?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “These two persons went to a tribe, which was celebrating a feast on that day. That tribe had an idol and none was allowed to go near it without offering a sacrifice. However there was no restriction on the size of sacrifice. The tribe refused to permit them passage unless they offered a sacrifice. One of those two persons said that he didn’t have anything to sacrifice. Then he caught a fly, killed it and offered it as a sacrifice while other companion refused to sacrifice even a fly for the sake of anyone except Allah. The tribal people killed him and he entered Paradise. On the other hand, the person who was left alive got punished in Hell.”
