Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “If illegitimate children are forgiven, the person who went around Bani Israel will be forgiven.” Imam was asked, “Who is the person who went around Bani Israel?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “He was a worshipper. He was told that illegitimate children will not be purified and none of their deeds will be accepted. The worshipper emerged in the mountains and asked: What is my fault in it?”
