5 حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ مَنِيعٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ أَهْوَنُ مَا يَكْتَسِبُ زَائِرُ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) فِي كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ السَّيِّئَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ أَيْنَ الْوَاحِدَةُ مِنْ أَلْفِ أَلْفٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا صَفْوَانُ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً مَعَهَا قُضْبَانٌ مِنْ نُورٍ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَفَظَةُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَ عَلَى زَائِرِ الْحُسَيْنِ (ع) سَيِّئَةً قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لِلْحَفَظَةِ كُفِّي فَتَكُفُّ فَإِذَا عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً قَالَتْ لَهَا اكْتُبِي أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يُبَدِّلُ اللّهُ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ حَسَناتٍ

5. Abul ‘Abbās Muḥammad ibn Ja’far narrated to me from Muḥammad ibn Ḥusain ibn Abil Khaťťāb, from Manī’, from Safwān ibn Yaḥyā, from Safwān ibn Mihrān Al-Jammāl, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq ) said: The least that a Zā`ir of Ḥusain gains is that every good deed will be registered as one million good deeds for him and every bad deed will be registered as (only) one. And how can one be compared to a million?! The Imam added: O Safwān! Rejoice, for verily Allāh has some angels who carry rods made of light and when the Keepers are about to register a bad deed for the Zā`ir of Ḥusain , these angels tell the Keepers to stop. Therefore, the Keepers will not register the bad deed. However, once the Zā`ir performs a good deed, these angels tell the Keeper, “Register now! ‘They are the ones whom Allāh changes their bad deeds to good deeds” (25:70).
