قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ ابْتُلِيَ فَفَجَرَ بِجَارِيَةِ أَخِيهِ فَمَا تَوْبَتُهُ قَالَ يَأْتِيهِ فَيُخْبِرُهُ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي حِلٍّ وَ لَا يَعُودُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِي حِلٍّ قَالَ قَدْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ هُوَ زَانٍ خَائِنٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالنَّارُ مَصِيرُهُ قَالَ شَفَاعَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ شَفَاعَتُنَا تَحْبَطُ بِذُنُوبِكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الشِّيعَةِ فَلَا تَعُودُونَ وَ تَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى شَفَاعَتِنَا فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا يَنَالُ شَفَاعَتَنَا إِذَا رَكِبَ هَذَا حَتَّى يُصِيبَهُ أَلَمُ الْعَذَابِ وَ يَرَى هَوْلَ جَهَنَّمَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Abu Shibl who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A Muslim man was tried, so he was immoral with a slave girl of his brother. So what is his repentance?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would go to him and inform him, and he would ask him if he could make from that a permissibility, and he would not repeat’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Supposing he does not make a permissibility for him from that?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would meet Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic and he would be an adulterer, a betrayer’. I said, ‘So the Fire would be (waiting for) his arrival’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Intercession of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and our<sup>asws</sup> intercession would drop your sins, O group of the Shias! Therefore, do not go on repeating (your sins), and rely upon our<sup>asws</sup> intercession, for by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, he would not achieve our intercession when he indulges in this until he is hit by the pain of the Punishment and sees the horrors of Hell’.
