[17] على بن ابراهيم عن ابيه وابو علي الاشعري ومحمد بن يحيى...

[17] على بن ابراهيم عن ابيه وابو علي الاشعري ومحمد بن يحيى جميعا عن الحسين بن اسحاق عن على بن مهزيار عن فضالة بن ايوب عن عبد الصمد بن بشير عن ابى عبد الله عليه السلام قال: ان العبد المؤمن إذا اذنب ذنبا اجله الله سبع ساعات فان استغفر لم يكتب عليه شئ، وان مضت الساعات ولم يستغفر كتبت عليه سيئة Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, and Muhammad Bin yahya together, from Al-Husayn Bin Is’haq, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Fazaalat Bin Ayoub, from Abdul Samad Bin Bahseer, who has narrated: ‘Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘When the Momin servant commits a sin, Allah -azwj Grants him a term of seven hours.

So, if he seeks Forgiveness, nothing gets written against him. And if the time passes by and he does not seek Forgiveness, a sin gets recorded against him. وان المؤمن ليذكر ذنبه بعد عشرين سنة حتى يستغفر ربه فيغفر له، وان الكافر لينساه من ساعته And if the Momin remembers his sin after twenty years to the extent that he seeks Forgiveness from his Lord -azwj , so He -azwj would Forgive it for him. And as for the Kafir, he forgets it (after committing a sin) from that very moment’.

The Imam -asws said : ‘The righteous, we -asws are they, and the immoral, they are our -asws enemies’.
