حضور پیامبر(ص) و استغفار؛ دو عامل مصونیت از عذاب

امام محمد باقر(ع) از امیرالموّمنین علی(ع) روایت کرده که فرمود:« بر روی زمین» دو چیز ماه امنیت و مصونیت از عذاب خداست: یکی از آنها برداشته شد و دیگری باقی است؛ آن را بگیرید و به آن تمسک جویید. اما امانی که برداشته شد. پیامبر خدا(ص) بود و امانی که باقی است. آمرزش خواهی و استغفار است (سپس این آیه را تلاوت کرد).» > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه ج۷» ص ۱۳۶ > ۴ - نورا لثقلیر »ج ۳ ص ۴۱ > ۲ المیزان» ۸ ص ۵۶ > ۳ نمونهء ج۷ء ص ۱۳۸ > ۱/۸۰ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
