Reward of living a life of forty to ninety years

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ إِذَا بَلَغَ الْمَرْءُ أَرْبَعِینَ سَنَهً آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الثَّلَاثَهِ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْخَمْسِینَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ حِسَابَهُ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ السِّتِّینَ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ الْإِنَابَهَ إِلَیْهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ السَّبْعِینَ أَحَبَّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الثَّمَانِینَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِإِثْبَاتِ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَ إِلْقَاءِ سَیِّئَاتِهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ التِّسْعِینَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ کُتِبَ أَسِیرَ اللَّهِ فِی أَرْضِهِ.
1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام said, “When a person reaches the age of forty, Allah keeps him safe from three diseases like insanity, leprosy and white spots. When he reaches the age of fifty, Allah curtails his accounting. When he reaches the age of sixty, Allah makes him return to Himself. When he reaches the age of seventy, the people of heavens start loving him. When he reaches the age of eighty, Allah orders that his good deeds be written down and sins not be written. When he reaches the age of ninety, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime forgives his past and present sins and writes him as a prisoner of Allah on His earth.”
