He -asws said...

He -asws said: ‘So when it would be the Day of Judgment, and the people of the Paradise come to be in the Paradise, those Angels would seek permission upon the inhabitants of the Paradise.

So they would permit for them and they would be entering to meet them and they would be greeting them and they would be saying to them: Greetings be upon you due to your having been patient Greetings be upon you due to your having been patient [13:24] , in the world, from the pleasures and the Permissible desires’’.

[13] Those who run away from vanities: وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ {323:} And those who are turning away from the vanities [23:3] و في المجمع عن الصادق عليه السلام قال: ان يتقوّل الرّجل عليك بالباطل أو يأتيك بما ليس فيك فتعرض عنه للَّه. And in (the book) Al Majma’a Al Bayaan, ‘From Al-Sadiq -asws having said: ‘If the man speaks upon you with the falsehood or comes to you with what there isn’t in you, then turn away from him for (the Sake of) Allah -azwj ’. [14] .

عن ابن يعقوب قال: قال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام لا يَغُرنَّك الناس مِن نفسك فإنَّ الأمر يصل إليك مِن دونهم، ولا تقطع نهارك بكذا وكذا فإنّ معك مَن يحفظ عليك، ولا تستقلَّ قليل الخير فإنّك تراه غداً بحيث يسرّك، ولا تستقلّ قليل الشرّ فإنّك تراه غداً بحيث يسوؤك، وأحسِن فإنّي لم أرَ شيئاً أشدّ طلباً، ولا أحسنُ دركاً مِن حسنةٍ مُحدثةٍ لذنبٍ قديم، إنّ الله ] يقول: ]إنَّ الْحَسَناتِ يُذْهِبْنَ الْسَّيئاتِ ذلِكَ ذِكْرى لِلْذَّاكِرينَ[.

Ibn Ya’qub narrated that: Imam Sadiq -asws said: “Let not the people make you forget about yourself since you, not they, will get the results of your own deeds. Do not let your time be wasted, since there is an angel with you who is watching over you. Do not underestimate your minor good deeds, since you will be pleased to see their results in the future. Do not underestimate your minor bad deeds either since you will be upset to see their results in the Hereafter.

Perform good deeds since I -asws have not seen anything more desirable than them and know of nothing that is better than good deeds to compensate for previous sins, as Allah -azwj Said: ‘For those things that are good remove those that are evil; be that the word of remembrance to those who remember (their Lord).” [The Holy Quran: Hud 11:114]. [15] و في الاعتقادات عنه عليه السلام: انّه سئل عن القصاص أ يحل الاستماع لهم فقال لا.

And in (the book) Al-Itiqaad – ‘From him -asws having been asked about the stories, is it Permissible the intently (carefully) listening to them?’ He -asws said: ‘No’.
