773. PERSISTENT SINNING

(وَالَّذِينَ إذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أوْ ظَلَمُوا أنفُسَهُم ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاستَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَى‏ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ) .1

"And those who, when they commit an indecent act or wrong themselves, remember Allah, and plead [Allah's] forgiveness for their sins - and who forgives sins except Allah? - and who do not knowingly persist in what they have committed." 2

2415.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : لا كبيرَ مَع الاستِغفارِ ، ولا صغيرَ مع الإصرارِ .3

2415.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].' 4

2416.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام - في قولِهِ تعالى‏: (...ولَم يُصِرُّوا ...) : الإصرارُ أن يُذنِبَ العَبدُ ولايَستَغفِرَ ، ولا يُحَدِّثَ نفسَهُ بالتوبةِ فذلكَ الإصرارُ .5

2416. 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.' 6

772 - كَبائِرُ الذُّنوبِ‏

772. THE GRAVE SINS

(إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبائِرَ ما تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُدْخَلاً كَرِيماً) .1

"If you avoid the grave sins that you are forbidden, We will absolve you of your misdeeds, and admit you to a noble abode." 2

2412.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : الكبائرُ : الإشراكُ بِاللَّهِ ، وعُقُوقُ الوالدَينِ ، وقَتلُ النَّفْسِ ، واليَمينُ الغَمُوسُ .3

2412.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The grave sins are: associating anything with Allah, insolence to one's parents, murdering an innocent soul, and taking an immoral or licentious oath.' 4

2413.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - لَمّا سُئِلَ عن أكبَرِ الكبائرِ - : الأمنُ مِن مَكرِ اللَّهِ ، والإياسُ مِن رَوحِ اللَّهِ ، والقُنُوطُ مِن رَحمَةِ اللَّهِ .5

2413. Imam Ali (AS), when asked about the gravest of the grave sins, said, 'Feeling secure from Allah's plan, giving up all hope of Allah's munificence, and despairing of Allah's mercy.' 6

2414.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : الكبائرُ سَبعٌ : قَتلُ المؤمِنِ مُتَعَمِّداً ، وقذفُ المُحصَنَةِ ، والفِرارُ مِنَ الزَّحفِ ، والتَّعَرُّبُ بعدَ الهِجرَةِ ، وأكلُ مالِ اليتيمِ ظُلماً ، وأكلُ الرِّبا بعدَ البَيِّنَةِ ، وكُلُّ ما أوجَبَ اللَّهُ عليهِ النارَ .7

2414.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'There are seven grave sins: intentionally killing a believer, falsely accusing a chaste woman of fornication, fleeing from the midst of a battle, returning to a state of renegation after belief 8 , unjustly usurping the property of the orphan, devouring usury after knowledge of its prohibition, and everything else that Allah has threatened to requite with obligatory punishment in the Fire.' 9
