29ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لا كبيرَ مَع الاستِغفارِ ، ولا صغيرَ مع الإصرارِ. |
| 29– The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'No petty sin remains when persisted upon, and no grave sin remains when repented for’ [i.e. the petty sin can be cancelled with persistence and furtherance in it, hence becoming a grave sin, and the grave sin can be annulled with repentance].[ Bihar al-Anwar, v. 73, p. 355, no. 62] |

30ـ الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في قولِهِ تعالى: «...ولَم يُصِرُّوا ...»ـ: الإصرارُ أن يُذنِبَ العَبدُ ولايَستَغفِرَ ، ولا يُحَدِّثَ نفسَهُ بالتوبةِ فذلكَ الإصرارُ. |
| 30– Imam al-Baqir (AS) with reference to Allah’s verse in the Qur’an: “those who do not knowingly persist in what they have committed”, said, ‘Persistence in sinning is when a person commits a sin, and does not seek forgiveness for it, and moreover, it does not even occur to him to repent for it – that is persistent sinning.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 6, p. 32, no. 40] |
