And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens.' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

ولایت اهل بیت(ع)؛ دروازةٌ آمرزش الهی

از امام صادق(ع) روایت شده که فرمود: «ُحن باب جطیِکُم»؛ بدین مفهوم که ما برای شما همچون دری هستیم که بنی‌اسرائیل می‌بایست از آن وارد می‌شدند و «حطّة» می‌گفتند تا گناهانشان بخشیده شود و پاداش الهی را دریافت کنند و اگر مسلمانان هم می‌خواهند مشمول آمرزش و رحمت الهی قرار گیرند. باید به ولایت اهل بیت(ع) اعتراف کنند و به حریم محبت آنها وارد گردند.
