Reward of saying Laa ilaaha illallaah at the time of calamity
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مَعْرُوفِ بْنِ خَرَّبُوذَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ یُصَابُ بِمُصِیبَهٍ فِی الدُّنْیَا فَیَسْتَرْجِعُ عِنْدَ مُصِیبَتِهِ حَتَّی تَفْجَأَهُ الْمُصِیبَهُ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا مَضَی مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ إِلَّا الْکَبَائِرَ الَّتِی أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ عَلَیْهَا النَّارَ قَالَ وَ کُلَّمَا ذَکَرَ مُصِیبَهً فِیمَا یَسْتَقْبِلُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ فَاسْتَرْجَعَ عِنْدَهَا وَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ کُلَّ ذَنْبٍ اکْتَسَبَهُ فِیمَا بَیْنَ الِاسْتِرْجَاعِ الْأَوَّلِ إِلَی الِاسْتِرْجَاعِ الثَّانِی إِلَّا الْکَبَائِرَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ.
1. Imam Muhammad Baqir عليه السلام said, “If a believer faces a calamity in this world and utters Laa ilaaha illallaah, Allah will forgive all of his sins except the greater sins for which the punishment of Hell is obligatory. Utter Laa ilaaha illallaah and glorify Allah whenever you are faced with a calamity in future. In this case Allah will forgive all the sins committed between two utterances (of the above phrase) except greater sins.”
