1392. THE BOOK OF DEEDS

(وَكُلَّ إِنْسانٍ أَلْزَمْناهُ طائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَومَ الْقِيامَةِ كِتاباً يَلْقاهُ مَنْشُوراً * اقْرَأْ كِتابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً) .¹

“We have attached every person’s omen to his neck, and We shall bring it out for him on the Day of Resurrection as a wide open book that he will encounter. ‘Read your book! Today your soul suffices as your own reckoner.’”²

4673.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام - في قَولِه تَعالى‏ : (وَكُلَّ إنْسانٍ ألْزَمْناهُ طائرَهُ في عُنُقِه) - : يَقولُ : خَيرُهُ وشَرُّهُ مَعَهُ حَيثُ كانَ ، لا يَستَطيعُ فِراقَهُ حَتّى‏ يُعطى‏ كِتابَهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ بِما عَمِلَ .³

4673. Imam al-Baqir (AS), with regards to Allah’s verse: “We have attached every person’s omen to his neck”, said, ‘The good and the evil he has done is with him wherever he is, and he cannot separate them until he is given his book about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection.’⁴

4674.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - في قولِهِ تَعالى‏ : (اِقْرَأْ كِتابَكَ كَفى‏ بِنَفْسِكَ اليَومَ) - : يُذَكَّرُ العَبدُ جَميعَ ما عَمِلَ وما كُتِبَ عَلَيهِ ؛ كأنَّهُ فَعَلَهُ تِلكَ السّاعَةِ ، فلِذلكَ قالوا : (يا وَيْلَتَنا ما لِهذا الكِتابِ لا يُغادِرُ صَغيرَةً وَلا كَبيرَةً إلّا أحْصاها) ؟!⁵

4674. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), with regards to Allah’s verse: ‘Read your book! Today your soul suffices as your own reckoner’, said, ‘The servant will be reminded of everything that he had done and that was recorded against him, as if he had done it that very hour, and because of that they will say, “Woe to us! What a book this is! It omits nothing, big or small, without enumerating it?!”⁶⁷

4675.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إذا كانَ يَومُ القِيامَةِ دُفِعَ إلَى الإنسانِ كِتابُه ، ثُمَّ قيلَ لَهُ : اقرَأهُ .[قالَ الرّاوي: ]قُلتُ : فيَعرِفُ ما فيهِ ؟ فقالَ : إنَّهُ يَذكُرُهُ فَما مِن لَحظَةٍ ولا كَلِمَةٍ ولا نَقْلِ قَدَمٍ ولا شَي‏ءٍ فَعَلَهُ إلّا ذَكَرَهُ ؛ كأنَّهُ فَعَلَهُ تِلكَ السّاعَةَ ، فلِذلكَ قالوا : (يا وَيْلَتَنا ما لِهذا الكِتابِ لا يُغادِرُ صَغيرَةً وَلا كَبيرَةً إلّا أحْصاها) ».⁸

4675.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘When the Day of Resurrection comes, man will be handed his book and told, ‘Read it.’ [The reporter of the tradition then asked him], ‘And will he know what is in it?’ to which he replied, ‘Verily he will remember it. There will not remain a single moment, a single word, a single footstep or anything that he did which he will not remember, as if he had done it that very hour. And this is why they will say, “Woe to us! What a book this is! It omits nothing, big or small, without enumerating it.”⁹
