7.Faḍālah narrated from Sayf ibn ʿAmīrah, from Muḥammad ibn Marwān, from Ḥakam ibn al-Ḥusayn, from ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn (a) who said
“A man came to the Prophet (ṣ) and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, there is no ugly action but that I have performed it; is there any possibility of repentance for me?’ The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) replied, ‘Are any of your parents alive?’ He said, ‘My father.’ He (ṣ) said, ‘Then go and be kind to him.’ So when he had left, the Messenger of Allah (ṣ) commented, ‘If only it was his mother [who was alive]!’”
فضالة عن سيف بن عميرة عن محمد بن مروان عن حكم بن الحسين عن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام قال
جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فقال: يا رسول الله ما من عمل قبيح الا قد عملته فهل لي من توبة؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: فهل من والديك أحد حي؟ قال: أبى قال: فاذهب فبره قال فلما ولى قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لو كانت أمه!
