The repentance of the Prophets -as is from being restless with the secret, and repentance of the pure ones is from the breathing (with other than the Zikr of Allah -azwj ), and repentance of the friends is from noticing sporadic matters, and repentance of the special ones is from the mental occupation with other than Allah -azwj , and repentance of the generality is from the sins.
\n And for each one of them there is understanding and knowledge in the origin of his repentance and the end-point of his matter, and that its explanation is prolonged over here.
\n As for the repentance of the generality, he would wash his interior with the water of regret, and the acknowledgment with the crime continuously, and hold on to the regret upon what has passed, and the fear upon what remains from his life-span, and he should not belittle his sin and carry that to the laziness, and perpetually cry and feel sorry upon what he has lost from the obedience of Allah -azwj , and contain his self from the desires, and beg to Allah -azwj the Exalted to Protect him upon the loyalty of his repentance; \n And he should save himself from the repetition to what passed and tame himself in the plains of the struggle and the worship, and fulfil from the misses from the Obligations, and respond to the grievances, and separate from the evil pairings, and hold vigils in his nights, and be thirsty during his day, and be thoughtful continuously regarding his Punishment, and be humble with Allah -azwj asking from Him -azwj the steadfastness in his good times and bad times, and be firm during the Tests and the afflictions, never falling from the rank of the penitent ones.
\n Thus, in that, would be the cleansing from his sins, and increase in his deeds, and raising regarding his ranks. Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: So, Allah will Make known those who are truthful and He will Make known the liars [29:3] \u2019\u2019. [9] \n By the three chains, from him -asws (Al-Reza, the 8 th Imam) having said: \u2018Rasool-Allah -saww said when this Verse was Revealed: You shall pass away and they would be dying [39:30] : \u2018I -saww said: \u2018O Lord -azwj !
Will You -azwj be Deadening the people, and the Prophets -as would remain?\u2019 So, it was Revealed: \u201c Every soul shall taste the death, then to Us, you will be returning [29:57] \u201d\u2019.
