[15] في اصول الكافي باسناده إلى عبد الله بن موسى بن جعفر عن أبيه قال: سألته عن الملكين هل يعلمان بالذنب إذا أراد العبد أن يفعله أو الحسنة ؟ فقال: ريح الكنيف والطيب سواء ؟ In Usool Al-Kafi, by his chain going up to the Masoom -asws : Abdullah Bin Musa -asws Bin Ja’far -asws , from his -asws father -asws , said, ‘I asked him -asws about the two Angels. Do these two know of the sin or the good deed when the servant intends to do it?

قلت: لا قال: ان العبد إذا هم بالحسنة خرج نفسه طيب الريح، فقال صاحب اليمين لصاحب الشمال: قم فانه قد هم بالحسنة، فإذا فعلها كان لسانه قلمه، وريقه مداده، وأثبتها له He -asws said: ‘Is the smell of toilet and perfume the same?’ I said, ‘No’. He -asws said: ‘When the servant thinks of a good deed, a good aroma comes out from it. So, the Angel on the right says to his companion on the left: ‘Arise, for he is thinking of doing the good deed’.

So, if he does it, his tongue would be his pen, and his saliva would be his ink, and it would be recorded for him. وإذا هم بالسيئة خرج نفسه منتن الريح فيقول صاحب الشمال لصاحب اليمين: قف فانه قد هم بالسيئة فإذا هو فعلها كان لسانه قلمه وريقه مداده وأثبتها عليه And when he thinks of committing a sin, a rotten smell comes out from him, so the Angel on the left says to his companion on the right: ‘Pause, for he has thought of committing a sin’.

So, if he does it, his tongue would be his pen, and his saliva would be his ink, and it would be recorded against him’.

[16] على بن ابراهيم عن أبيه عن ابن أبى عمير عن محمد بن حمران عن زرارة قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: ان العبد إذا أذنب ذنبا أجل من غدوة إلى الليل، فان استغفر الله لم يكتب عليه Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Hamraan, from Zurara who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘When the servant commits a sin, he has a term from the day to the night, so if Allah -azwj Forgives, it does not get recorded against him’.
