13.One of our companions narrated from ʿAlī ibn Shajarah, from ʿĪsā ibn Rāshid, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) whom
he heard saying, “There is no believer who commits a sin but that he is given respite for seven hours, so if he seeks forgiveness from Allah [during that time], he is forgiven. Indeed, he may recall his sin after twenty years and thus seek forgiveness from Allah and he is [thereby] forgiven. But as for the disbeliever, he forgets his sin so that he may not seek forgiveness from Allah.”
بعض أصحابنا عن علي بن شجرة عن عيسى بن راشد عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال
سمعته يقول: ما من مؤمن يذنب ذنبا الا أجل سبع ساعات فان استغفر الله غفر له وانه ليذكر ذنبه بعد عشرين سنة فيستغفر الله فيغفر له وان الكافر لينسى ذنبه لئلا يستغفر الله.
