حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامٌ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الطَّيَّارِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) النَّاسُ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَصْنَافٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَكْتُبَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ مَا أَكْتُبُ قَالَ اكْتُبْ أَهْلَ الْوَعِيدِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَ اكْتُبْ وَ آخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ وَحْشِيٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ وَ اكْتُبْ وَ آخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ وَ اكْتُبْ إِلَّا الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ مِنَ الرِّجالِ وَ النِّساءِ وَ الْوِلْدانِ لا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً وَ لا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ حِيلَةً إِلَى الْكُفْرِ وَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ سَبِيلًا إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَأُولئِكَ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ قَالَ وَ اكْتُبْ أَصْحَابَ الْأَعْرَافِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْأَعْرَافِ قَالَ قَوْمٌ اسْتَوَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُمْ وَ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ فَإِنْ أَدْخَلَهُمُ النَّارَ فَبِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ إِنْ أَدْخَلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ فَبِرَحْمَتِهِ .
Translation
Anumber of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Suleym a slave of Tarbaal who said, ‘Hisham narrated to me, from Hamza Bin Al-Tayyar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘The people are upon three categories’. I said, ‘Would you<sup>asws</sup> permit me that I write this down?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘What shall I write?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Promised people would be from the inhabitants of the Paradise and the inhabitants of the Fire. And write <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:9#h102"><a href="/books/quran:9#h102">[9:102]</a></a> And others have confessed their sins, they have mingled a good deed and an evil one; maybe Allah will Turn to them (Mercifully)</span>’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘And write <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h98"><a href="/books/quran:4#h98">[4:98]</a></a> Except the weak from among the men and the children who have not in their power the means nor can they find a way (to escape) <a href="/#/books/quran:4#h99"><a href="/books/quran:4#h99">[4:99]</a></a> So these, it may be, Allah will Pardon them</span>’. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘And write <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:7#h48"><a href="/books/quran:7#h48">[7:48]</a></a> And the the people of Al-Araf</span>’. I said, ‘And what are the the people of Al-Araf?’ He<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘A people whose good deeds and their evils deeds would be equal. So if they were to be entered into the Fire, it would be due to their sins, and if they were to be entered into the Paradise, it would be due to His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mercy’.
