Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Divine Mercy and the Absence of Hell for Believers

2

Arabic text

حدّثنا محمّد بن علي بن ماجيلويه رحمه الله، قال: حدّثنا محمّد بن يحيى بإسناد يرفعه، عن حنظلة، عن ميسر قال: سمعت أبا الحسن الرضا عليه السلام يقول: لا يرى منكم في النار اثنان، لا والله ولا واحد. قال: فقلت: أين ذلك من كتاب الله؟ فأمسك عنّي سنة. قال: فانّي معه ذات يوم في الطواف إذ قال لي: يا ميسر اليوم اُذن لي في جوابك عن مسألتك كذا. قال: قلت: فأين هو من القرآن؟ فقال: في سورة "الرحمن" وهو قول الله عزّ وجلّ: (فَيَوْمَئِذ لاَ يُسْئلُ عَنْ ذَنْبِهِ ـ منكم ـ إِنْسٌ وَلاَ جَانٌّ). فقلت له: ليس فيها "منكم"! قال: إن أوّل من قد غيّرها ابن أروى، وذلك أنّها حجّة عليه وعلى أصحابه، ولو لم يكن فيها "منكم" لسقط عقاب الله عزّ وجلّ عن خلقه. إذا لم يسأل عن ذنبه إنس ولا جانّ فلمن يعاقب الله إذاً يوم القيامة؟

Translation

Mohammed bin Ali bin Majilwayh (r) said to us that Mohammed bin Yahya narrated to him… from Hanzhala that Maisar said that Abu alHasan ar-Ridha said: "No two of you will be seen in Hell. Furthermore, no single one of you will be seen in Hell." I said: "How can this be proved through the Book of Allah?" The Imam did not answer me for a whole year. On the Circumambulating day of the next year, he said to me: "O Maisar, only today I am permitted to answer your last question." I said: "Well, how can it be proved through the Book of Allah?" He (a) said: This is in sura of Arrahman. It is: "On that day, no mankind -among you- or jinn will be asked about his sin (55:39)." I said: "This Verse does not include ’among you’ that you have said." He (a) answered: "The first one who distorted the Verse was son of Arwa, because it was evidence against his acquaintances and him. Without the existence of ’among you’ in the Verse, the sentence of the punishment of Allah, Powerful and Majestic is He, will cease to be valid for all the creatures. If Allah will not ask any man or jinn about his sin, whom will he punish on the Day of Resurrection, then?"
