4 - قال: أخبرني أبو القاسم جعفر بن محمد رحمه الله عن أبيه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن محمد بن سنان، عن عبد الكريم بن عمرو ، وإبراهيم بن راحة البصري جميعا قالا: حدثنا ميسر قال: لي أبو عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: ما تقول فيمن لا يعصي الله في أمره ونهيه، إلا أنه يبرأ منك ومن أصحابك على هذا الأمر؟ قال: قلت: وما عسيت أن أقول وأنا بحضرتك؟ قال: قل! فإني أنا الذي آمرك أن تقول. قال: قلت: هو في النار. قال: يا ميسر! ما تقول فيمن يدين الله بما تدينه به، وفيه من الذنوب ما في الناس إلا أنه مجتنب الكبائر؟ قال: قلت: وما عسيت أن أقول وأنا بحضرتك؟ قال: قل! فإني أنا الذي آمرك أن تقول. قال: قلت: في الجنة. قال: فلعلك تحرج أن تقول: هو في الجنة؟ قال: قلت: لا، قال: فلا تحرج، فإنه في الجنة، إن الله عز وجل يقول: " إن تجتنبوا كبائر ما تنهون عنه نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم وندخلكم مدخلا كريما " . 

4. He said: Abul Qasim Ja’far ibn Muhammad - may Allah bless him with mercy, reported to me from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abdul Karim ibn Amru and Ibrahim ibn Rahah al-Basri, who both reported from Mayassar, who reported that: Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon him told him: "What do you say about a person who does not disobey in what Allah has enjoined and forbidden, but he disassociates with you and your friends in this matter (i.e. wilayah of Ahlul Bayt)?" I said: "What can I say in your presence?" He said: "Say, for I command you to speak." I said: "He will be in hellfire." Then he said: "O Mayassar, what do you say about a person who has faith similar to yours, and has committed sins normally committed by people, but he refrains from the major sins?" I said: "What can I say in your presence?" He said: "Say, for that is my order." I said: "He will be in Paradise." He said: "Perhaps you are hesitating in saying that such a person will be in Paradise!" I said: "No" He said: "Do not hesitate, for surely, Allah, Most High, says (in the Qur’an): ’If you avoid the heinous sins that are forbidden you, We will expiate your evil deeds and admit you in honourable manner.’ (al-Nisa, 4:31)"
