The Sufficient (Vol 8) · Hadith 167 (#Ḥadīth #1)

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِداً مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) وَ النَّاسُ فِي الطَّوَافِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ يَا سَمَاعَةُ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابُ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ وَ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابُهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَمْنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ فِي تَرْكِهِ لَنَا فَأَجَابَنَا إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ اسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَجَابُوا إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَ عَوَّضَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

167. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sinan, from Sa’daan, from Sama’at who said: I was seated with Abu Al-Hassan the First , and the people were in the circumambulation (Tawaaf) in the middle of the night, so he said: ‘O Sama’at! To us is the eventual return of these people and on us is their Accounting. So there is none from their sins between them and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, but it has been Ordained by Allah (azwj) for it to be left to us so we will respond to that, and there is nothing between them and the people, but they should ask it from us and I will respond to that, and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic would Recompense them for it’.
