35 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّه قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَلِىِّ بْنِ إِبراهِيمِ بْنِ هاشِمٍ، عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مَعبَدٍ، عَنِ الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خالِدٍ، عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَنْ أَبيهِ، عَنْ‏آبائِهِ‏ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ: أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنين‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: مَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِحَوْضِي فَلا أَوْرَدَهُ اللَّهُ حَوْضِي وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِشَفَاعَتِي فَلا أَنَالَهُ اللَّهُ شَفَاعَتِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: إِنَّمَا شَفَاعَتِي لاهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِيفَأَمَّا الُْمحْسِنُونَ فَمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ.قَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ فَقُلْتُ لِلرِّضَايَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَمَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: «وَلا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلا لِمَنِ ارْتَضى‏» ؟ قَالَ: لا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَى اللَّهُ دِينَه.قالَ المُصَنَّف: الْمُؤْمِنُ هُوَالَّذِي تَسُرُّهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَتَسُوؤُهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: مَنْ سَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ وَسَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَهُوَمُؤْمِنٌ وَمَتَى سَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَةٌ نَدِمَ عَلَيْهَا، وَالنَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ وَالتَّائِبُ مُسْتَحِقٌّ لِلشَّفَاعَةِ وَالْغُفْرَانِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ تَسُؤْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ فَلَيْسَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مُؤْمِناً لَمْ يَسْتَحِقَّ الشَّفَاعَةَ لانَّ اللَّهَ غَيْرُ مُرْتَضٍ لِدِينِه.

Translation

11-35 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid, on the authority of Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s), on the authority of his father (s), on the authority of his forefathers (s), on the authority of the Commander of the Faithful that God’s Prophet (s) said, “God will not bring to the Pool anyone who does not believe in my Pool. God will not let anyone who does not believe in my intercession to benefit from it.” Then theProphet (s) said, “My intercession applies to those of my nation who commit major sins. As for the good doers, they do not even deserve to be questioned.”Al-Hussein ibn Khalid added, “I asked Al-Ridha (s), ‘O son of the Prophet of God! What does the following Words of the Honorable the Exalted ‘…and they offer no intercession except for those who are acceptable…’ mean?’”Then the Imam (s) said, “This means that they will not intercede on behalf of anyone unless God accepts their religion.”The author said, “A believer is one whose good deeds make him happy and whose bad deeds make him upset since the Prophet (s) said, “Anyone whose good deeds pleases him and whose evil deeds upsets him is a believer. Whenever he gets upset about his bad deeds he becomes sorry. Becoming sorry is the same as repenting. One who repents deserves intercession and forgiveness. Whoever does not get upset about his evil deeds is not a believer. One who is not a believer does not deserve my intercession, since God does not accept his religion.”
