الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُذْنِبُ الذَّنْبَ، فَيَذْكُرُ بَعْدَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً، فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ‏ مِنْهُ‏ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُ، وَ إِنَّمَا يُذَكِّرُهُ‏ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Verily a believer commits a sin and then, twenty years later, he remembers it and seeks God's forgiveness for it and God forgives him. Verily it is God who makes him remember the sin that He may forgive his sin.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
