يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَبْكِيَ فَلْيَبْكِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَلْيُشْعِرْ قَلْبَهُ الْحُزْنَ وَ لْيَتَبَاكَ إِنَّ الْقَلْبَ الْقَاسِيَ بَعِيدٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ لكِنْ لا يَشْعُرُون‏.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

O Abazar, one who is able to weep [over his sins] must do so, and one who is unable to weep must accustom his heart to sorrow and endeavor to weep. Verily [one with] a hard heart is far from Allah but they perceive it not.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

الكافي عن الإمام الصّادق عليه السلام : إذا بَلَغتِ النَّفْس هاهُنا ـ و أشارَ بِيَدِهِ إلى حَلْقِهِ ـ لَم يَكُن للعالِمِ تَوبَةٌ ، ثُمّ قَرَأ: «إنّما التّوبةُ على اللّه للّذين يَعملونَ السُّوءَ بجهالةٍ»

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When the soul reaches here -and he pointed to his throat- there will be no repentance for a knowledgeable man, then he recited the verse: “[Acceptance of] repentance by Allah is only for those who commit evil out of ignorance..."

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

إنَّ اللّهَ تعالى أشَدُّ فَرَحا بتوبةِ عبدِهِ مِن رجُلٍ أضَلَّ راحِلَتَهُ و زادَهُ في ليلةٍ ظَلْماءَ فوجَدَها ، فاللّهُ أشَدُّ فَرَحا بتَوبَةِ عبدِهِ مِن ذلكَ الرّجُلِ براحِلَتِهِ حِينَ وجَدَها .

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

Allah’s happiness upon the repentance of His servant is greater than the happiness of a man who finds his provision and his mount after losing them in the middle of a dark night.

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

ما مِن عَبدٍ إلاّ و في قَلبِهِ نُكتَةٌ بَيضاءُ ، فإذا أذنَبَ ذنباً خَرَجَ في النُّكتةِ نُكتةٌ سَوْداءُ ، فإن تابَ ذَهَبَ ذلكَ السَّوادُ ، و إن تَمادى في الذُّنوبِ زادَ ذلكَ السَّوادُ حتّى يُغَطِّيَ البَياضَ ، فإذا [تَـ]غَطَّى البياضُ لَم يَرجِعْ صاحِبُهُ إلى خيرٍ أبداً، و هو قولُ اللّهِ عزّ و جلّ «كَلاّ بَلْ رانَ على قُلُوبِهِم ما كانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ» .

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

Every single person has a white spot on his heart, and when he commits a sin, a black dot appears in the white spot, so if he repents, the black dot disappears, but if he continues to indulge in sins, the black dot expands until it engulfs the white spot and when that happens, he will never return to good and that is the purport of God's verse in the Quran: "...No, that is not the case! Rather, their hearts have been sullied by what they have been earning."

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِنَّ اللَّهَ- عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- يَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا تَابَ‏، كَمَا يَفْرَحُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِضَالَّتِهِ‏ إِذَا وَجَدَهَا.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Verily Allah, Mighty and Exalted, becomes happy when His believing servant repents, just as you become happy upon finding something you have lost.

الإمام الرّضا (عليه السَّلام ):

مَثَلُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ مَثَلُ وَرَقٍ عَلى‏ شَجَرَةٍ تُحَرَّكُ‏ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ، وَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ وَ يَفْعَلُهُ‏ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ بِرَبِّهِ.

Imam al-Reḍa (as):

The similitude of seeking God's forgiveness is that of a leaf that falls down from a tree when it is shaken. However, one who seeks God's forgiveness for a sin while still committing the sin is as one who is mocking his Lord.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِذَا أَكْثَرَ اَلْعَبْدُ مِنَ اَلاِسْتِغْفَارِ رُفِعَتْ صَحِيفَتُهُ وَ هِيَ تَتَلَأْلَأُ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When a servant increases his seeking of forgiveness, [on the Day of Judgment] the book of his record will be raised while shining brightly.

الإمام الكاظم (عليه السَّلام):

«لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يُحَاسِبْ نَفْسَهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ، فَإِنْ عَمِلَ حَسَناً اسْتَزَادَ اللَّهَ؛ وَ إِنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئاً اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ مِنْهُ‏ وَ تَابَ إِلَيْهِ».

Imam al-Kazim (as):

The one who does not take account of himself every single day is not one of us. And when he performs a good deed, he should ask Allah to enable him to do more, and when he commits an evil deed, he must seek Allah's forgiveness and repent for it.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً فَأَذْنَبَ ذَنْباً، أَتْبَعَهُ بِنَقِمَةٍ وَ يُذَكِّرُهُ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ، وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ شَرّاً فَأَذْنَبَ ذَنْباً، أَتْبَعَهُ بِنِعْمَةٍ لِيُنْسِيَهُ‏ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ وَ يَتَمَادى به وهُو قولُ اللَّهِ عزّ وجلّ : (سنَسْتدرِجُهُم من حيثُ لا يعلمونَ) بالنِّعَمِ عند المَعاصي ..

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When Allah wants good for a servant who commits a sin, He follows it with a punishment and reminds him to ask for forgiveness. But if Allah, wants bad for a servant who commits a sin, He follows it with a favor that makes him forget to ask for forgiveness and continue sinning. This is the meaning of Allah's verse, "We will draw them imperceptibly [into ruin], whence they do not know": with favors whenever they sin.
