And one who lives for eighty years, Allah -azwj will Forgive for him whatever had preceded from his sins and whatever is delayed, and he will walk upon the earth having been Forgiven, and he will intercede regarding people of his household’’.
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – From his father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Dawood Bin Al Numan, from Sayf Al Tammar, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘The servant is in a leeway from his age, what is between him and forty years.
When he reaches forty years, Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Reveals to his two (allocated) Angels: ‘I -azwj have Cause My -azwj servant to live so be harsh and severe, and preserving, and write upon him the little of his deed and its more, and its small and its big!”’ [18] الخصال بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا بَلَغَ الْعَبْدُ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَقَدْ بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَقَدْ بَلَغَ مُنْتَهَاهُ فَإِذَا طَعَنَ فِي إِحْدَى وَ أَرْبَعِينَ فَهُوَ فِي النُّقْصَانِ وَ يَنْبَغِي لِصَاحِبِ الْخَمْسِينَ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَمَنْ كَانَ فِي النَّزْعِ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – By this chain, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘When the servant reaches thirty-three years, so he has reached his maturity, and when he reaches forty years, so he has reached his peak. When he crosses in forty-one, so he is in the reduction, and it is befitting for the owner of the fifty that he would be like the one who were in the throes of death’’.
