And we would not be chastised for our sins except in the world?

And we would not be chastised for our sins except in the world?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes. Have you not heard the words of Rasool-Allah -saww : ‘The world is a prison for the Momin and a garden for the disbeliever?’ Allah -azwj the Exalted Cleans our -asws Shias from their sins in the world with what He -azwj Afflicts them with, from the adversities, and by what (sins) He -azwj Forgives for them, as Allah -azwj the Exalted is Saying And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He Pardons most (of your faults) [42:30] , until when they return on the Day of Judgment, (the Rewards of) their obedient acts and their worship would be made available to them.

و إن أعداءنا يجازيهم عن طاعة تكون في الدنيا منهم- و إن كان لا وزن لها، لأنه لا إخلاص معها- حتى إذا وافوا القيامة، حملت عليهم ذنوبهم، و بغضهم لمحمد و آله (صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين) و خيار أصحابه، فقذفوا في النار.

And (as for) our -asws enemies, they would be Recompensed of the obedient acts which happen from them in the world – and even if there was no weight to it, because there would not be sincerity with it – until when they come on the (Day of) Judgment, their sins would be loaded upon them, and (as well as) their hatred for Muhammad -saww and his -saww Progeny -asws , and the good ones of his -saww companions, so they would be flung into the Fire’.

فقال عبدالله بن يحيى: يا أمير المؤمنين، قد أفدتني و علمتني، فإن رأيت أن تعرفني ذنبي الذي امتحنت به في هذا المجلس، حتى لا أعود إلى مثله؟ فقال: تركك حين جلست أن تقول: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ فجعل الله ذلك لسهوك عما ندبت إليه تمحيصا بما أصابك، أما علمت أن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) حدثني، عن الله عز و جل أنه قال: كل أمر ذي بال لم يذكر فيه اسم الله، فهو أبتر؟ So, Abdullah Bin Yahya said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen -asws ! You -asws have benefited me and taught me.

So if you -asws see fit if you -asws could introduce me to my sin which I was Tested with in this sitting, until I do not repeat to the likes of it?’ He -asws said: ‘You neglected, when you sat down, that you should be saying ‘ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ’ , so Allah -azwj Made that, for your forgetfulness from what you lamented to Him -azwj , as a of what hit you.

But, do you not know that Rasool-Allah -saww narrated to me -asws from Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic that He -azwj Said: “Every matter of significance in which the Name of Allah -azwj is no mentioned, so it would be cut off (unaccomplished)?’. فقلت: بلى- بأبي أنت و أمي- لا أتركها بعدها.
