قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بَيْنَمَا مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) جَالِساً إِذْ أَقْبَلَ إِبْلِيسُ وَ عَلَيْهِ بُرْنُسٌ ذُو أَلْوَانٍ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) خَلَعَ الْبُرْنُسَ وَ قَامَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ أَنَا إِبْلِيسُ قَالَ أَنْتَ فَلَا قَرَّبَ اللَّهُ دَارَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ لِأُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكَ لِمَكَانِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) فَمَا هَذَا الْبُرْنُسُ قَالَ بِهِ أَخْتَطِفُ قُلُوبَ بَنِي آدَمَ فَقَالَ مُوسَى فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِالذَّنْبِ الَّذِي إِذَا أَذْنَبَهُ ابْنُ آدَمَ اسْتَحْوَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِذَا أَعْجَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ وَ اسْتَكْثَرَ عَمَلَهُ وَ صَغُرَ فِي عَيْنِهِ ذَنْبُهُ وَ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِدَاوُدَ ( عليه السلام ) يَا دَاوُدُ بَشِّرِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَ أَنْذِرِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ قَالَ كَيْفَ أُبَشِّرُ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَ أُنْذِرُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ قَالَ يَا دَاوُدُ بَشِّرِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ أَنِّي أَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ أَعْفُو عَنِ الذَّنْبِ وَ أَنْذِرِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ أَلَّا يُعْجَبُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ أَنْصِبُهُ لِلْحِسَابِ إِلَّا هَلَكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Yunus, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘While Musa<sup>as</sup> was seated, Iblees<sup>la</sup> came over and upon him<sup>la</sup> was a colourful hood. So when he<sup>la</sup> approached Musa<sup>as</sup>, removed the hood and stood by him<sup>as</sup> and greeted upon him<sup>as</sup>. So Musa<sup>as</sup> said to him<sup>la</sup>: ‘Who are you<sup>la</sup>?’ So he<sup>la</sup> said, ‘I<sup>la</sup> am Iblees<sup>la</sup>’. He<sup>as</sup> said: ‘You<sup>la</sup>, May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> not let your<sup>la</sup> circling be close by’. He<sup>la</sup> said, ‘But rather, I<sup>la</sup> came over to greet upon you<sup>as</sup> due to your<sup>as</sup> status from Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘So Musa<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> said to him: ‘So what is this hood?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> said, ‘By it I<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> abduct the hearts of the children of Adam<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>’. So Musa<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> said: ‘So tell me<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> of the sin which, when the son of Adam<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> commits it, he gets captured upon it’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">la</sup> said, ‘When his self astounds him and his deeds seem numerous and his sins seem small in his eyes’. And he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Said to Dawood<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>: “O Dawood<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>! Give glad tidings to the sinners and warn the truthful!” He<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> said: ‘How do I<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> give glad tidings to the sinners and warn the truthful?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Said: “O Dawood<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>! Give glad tidings to the sinners that I<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Accept the repentance and Pardon the sins, and warn the truthful that they should not be self-conceited with their deeds, for there is no servant who will be linked with it for the Reckoning except that he would be destroyed!”’.
