No Intercession for Those Who Regard SalÄt Unimportant
Making light of SalÄt is counted among the Greater Sins. It is mentioned in some reports that the one who considers the prayers unimportant is not eligible for intercession.
Thus Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said:
“Our intercession is not for those who consider the Prayers unimportant.”
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said:
“Our intercession is not for those who considered the Prayers lightly.”
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr vol.3)
It is related from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said:
“One who considers prayers unimportant is not from me. By Allah, he is not from me. By Allah, he cannot reach near me at the Haudh al-Kauthar.” (the cistern in Paradise)
(BihÄr al-AnwÄr)
The above discussion makes it evident that not avoiding sins, committing sins blatantly and then repenting in the hope of intercession is foolishness and a sign of arrogance and negligence.
