٦ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مِسْمَعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَما أَصابَكُمْ مِنْ مُصِيبَةٍ فَبِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَيَعْفُوا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ لَيْسَ مِنِ الْتِوَاءِ عِرْقٍ وَلا نَكْبَةِ حَجَرٍ وَلا عَثْرَةِ قَدَمٍ وَلا خَدْشِ عُودٍ إِلا بِذَنْبٍ وَلَمَا يَعْفُو الله أَكْثَرُ فَمَنْ عَجَّلَ الله عُقُوبَةَ ذَنْبِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَجَلُّ وَأَكْرَمُ وَأَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي عُقُوبَتِهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ.
6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Misma’ ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from Abu ‘Abdillah  who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘Whatever hardship befalls you is the result of your own deeds. Allah pardons many of your sins,’ (42:30) has said, ‘The spraining of one’s muscles, bumping over a stone, the slip of foot or being bruised by a piece of wood is all because of sins and what Allah forgives is much more. In the matters of whoever faces quick suffering for sins in this world, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is by far more Honorable and Great and will not allow a repeat of his suffering in the next life.”’
