4ـ عن الإمام الصّادق (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّما خُلِّدَ أهلُ النّارِ في النّارِ لأنّ نِيّاتِهِم كانَت في الدُّنيا أن لَو خُلِّدوا فيها أن يَعصُوا اللّهَ أبداً، وإنّما خُلِّدَ أهلُ الجَنّةِ في الجَنّةِ لأنّ نِيّاتِهِم كانَت في الدُّنيا أن لَو بَقُوا فيها أن يُطِيعوا اللّهَ أبَداً، فبِالنِّيّاتِ خُلِّدَ هؤلاءِ وهؤلاءِ، ثُمّ تَلا قولَهُ تعالى: «قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلى شاكِلَتِهِ» قالَ: على نِيَّتِهِ. |

Therefore, it is according to their intentions that these people and those people will have everlasting abodes.
