وَالله مَا يَنْجُو مِنَ الذَّنْبِ إِلا مَنْ أَقَرَّ بِهِ. قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) كَفَى بِالنَّدَمِ تَوْبَةً.

لا وَالله مَا أَرَادَ الله تَعَالَى مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلا خَصْلَتَيْنِ أَنْ يُقِرُّوا لَهُ بِالنِّعَمِ فَيَزِيدَهُمْ وَبِالذُّنُوبِ فَيَغْفِرَهَا لَهُمْ.

Allah then grants him mercy and admits him in paradise.’”

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُذْنِبُ الذَّنْبَ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الله بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ قُلْتُ يُدْخِلُهُ الله بِالذَّنْبِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ لَيُذْنِبُ فَلا يَزَالُ مِنْهُ خَائِفاً مَاقِتاً لِنَفْسِهِ فَيَرْحَمُهُ الله فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ.
