Chapter 354 | Reward of repenting

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ یَحْیَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص یَقُولُ مُقَامِی فِیکُمْ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَکُمْ حِصْنٌ حَصِینٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ فَمَضَی أَکْثَرُ الْحِصْنَیْنِ وَ بَقِیَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ فَأَکْثِرُوا مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَمْحَاهٌ لِلذُّنُوبِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ ما کانَ اللَّهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِیهِمْ وَ ما کانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

3. It is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “My presence among you and your repentance is a strong fortress to remain safe from chastisement.” Imam said, “Now our great protection is no longer with the world and the only thing remaining is repentance. So repent a lot for it wipes sins as Almighty Allah says: But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness.”15
