The Rejection
الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ آخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَوْمٌ كَانُوا مُشْرِكِينَ فَقَتَلُوا مِثْلَ حَمْزَةَ وَ مِثْلَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَشْبَاهَهُمَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ دَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَوَحَّدُوا اللَّهَ وَ تَرَكُوا الشِّرْكَ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا الْإِيمَانَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ فَيَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَتَجِبَ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةُ
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara,
From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj: And others are waiting hopefully for the Command of Allah [9:106]. He-asws said: ‘A group who used to be Polytheists, and they killed the likes of Hamza-asws, and Ja’far-asws , and the likes of these two-asws from the Momineen, then they entered into Al-Islam. They acknowledged Allah-azwj and left the Shirk (Polytheism) but did not recognise the Emān by their hearts. They (tried to be part of) the Momineen, for the Paradise to be Obligated for them.
وَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا عَلَى جُحُودِهِمْ فَيَكْفُرُوا فَتَجِبَ لَهُمُ النَّارُ فَهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ
‘And they did not happen to be upon their ‘جُحُودِ’ rejection, so they were committing Kufr and the Fire would be Obligated for them. Thus, they were upon that, Either He would Punish them or He would Turn to them (Mercifully) [9:106]’.[1]
