[12] Caution for a Momin from committing sins الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَيَّدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ تَحْضُرُهُ فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ يُحْسِنُ فِيهِ وَ يَتَّقِي وَ تَغِيبُ عَنْهُ فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ يُذْنِبُ فِيهِ وَ يَعْتَدِي فَهِيَ مَعَهُ تَهْتَزُّ سُرُوراً عِنْدَ إِحْسَانِهِ وَ تَسِيخُ فِي الثَّرَى عِنْدَ إِسَاءَتِهِ Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, altogether from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Salma, from Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Gazwan, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Khadeeja who said, ‘I went over to Abu Al-Hassan -asws , and he -asws said to me: ‘Allah -azwj Blessed and High Aids the Momin with a spirit from Him -azwj , (assisting) him during every time he does a good deed in it , and it is absent from him during every time he sins, in it and transgresses.

So, it is with him, vibrating joyfully during his good deeds and falling into the earth during his sinning. فَتَعَاهَدُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ نِعَمَهُ بِإِصْلَاحِكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ تَزْدَادُوا يَقِيناً وَ تَرْبَحُوا نَفِيساً ثَمِيناً رَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً هَمَّ بِخَيْرٍ فَعَمِلَهُ أَوْ هَمَّ بِشَرٍّ فَارْتَدَعَ عَنْهُ Therefore, make a pact for His -azwj Blessings, servants of Allah -azwj , by correcting yourselves, you will be increasing your conviction and you will be profiting by a good price.

May Allah -azwj have Mercy upon a man who thinks of doing good, so he does it, or thinks of doing evil, but retracts from it’. ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْنُ نُؤَيِّدُ الرُّوحَ بِالطَّاعَةِ لِلَّهِ وَ الْعَمَلِ لَهُ. Then said: We -asws assist the spirit by the obedience to Allah -azwj and working for Him -azwj ’.
