أَقْسَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَنْ لَا يَقْعُدَ عَلَى نَمَارِقِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ يُؤْتَى فِي دُبُرِهِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فُلَانٌ عَاقِلٌ لَبِيبٌ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ قَدِ ابْتَلَاهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَيَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْجَامِعِ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَيَفْعَلُهُ عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَيْنَ يَفْعَلُهُ قُلْتُ إِذَا خَلَا قَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَبْتَلِهِ هَذَا مُتَلَذِّذٌ لَا يَقْعُدُ عَلَى نَمَارِقِ الْجَنَّةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Zakariyya Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Amro, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Sword upon Himself<sup>asws</sup> that he shall not sit upon the cushions of the Paradise, the one who allows others into his behind’. So I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So and so intellectual, one of understanding, is inviting people unto himself. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Afflicted him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Does he do that in the Masjid gathering?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So, does he do it upon the door of his house?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said:’ So where does he do it?’ I said, ‘When he is alone’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has not Afflicted him. This one is doing it for pleasure. He shall not sit upon the cushions of the Paradise’.
