THE SCALE
مَوازينُ الأعمالِ / Scales of Deeds
1. رسولُ اللّه صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيه وَ آلِهِ في قَولِ اللّه لآدمَ يومَ القِيامَةِ: قُمْ عِندَ المِيزانِ فانظُرْ ما يُرفَعُ إلَيكَ مِن أعمالِهِم، فمَن رَجَحَ مِنهُم خَيرُهُ على شَرِّهِ مِثقالَ ذَرَّةٍ فلَهُ الجَنّةُ؛ حتّى تَعلَمَ أ نّي لا اُدخِلُ النارَ مِنهُم إلاّ ظالِما. (كنز العمّال: 39768).
1. The Prophet (SAWA) narrated, ‘Allah will say to Adam on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Stand at the scale and see what is shown to you from their works. He whose good deeds outweigh his bad deeds even by one atom’s worth, he will go to Heaven, so that you may know that I do not admit any of them to Hell, unless they do wrong.’
[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 39768]
2. الإمامُ الباقرُ عَلَيهِ السَّلامُ: إنّ اللّه ثَقَّلَ الخَيرَ على أهلِ الدُّنيا كثِقْلِهِ في مَوازِينِهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ، وإنَّ اللّه عز و جل خَفَّفَ الشَّرَّ على أهلِ الدُّنيا كخِفَّتِهِ في مَوازِينِهِم يَومَ القِيامَةِ. (الكافي: 2 / 143 / 10).
2. Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Allah has made the good heavy for the dwellers of this world just like the heaviness of their weight on their scales on the Day of Judgment, and Allah has lightened the weight of evil on the dwellers of this world just as the lightness of their weight on their scales on the Day of Judgment.’
[al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 143, no. 10]

3. الإمامُ الصّادقُ عَلَيهِ السَّلامُ وقد سـألَهُ زِندِيقٌ: أوَلـيـسَ تُـوزَنُ الأعمالُ ؟: لا، إنّ الأعمالَ لَيسَت بأجسامٍ، وإنّما هِي صِفَةُ ماعَمِلوا، وإنّما يَحتاجُ إلى وَزنِ الشّيءِ مَن جَهِلَ عَدَدَ الأشياءِ ولا يَعرِفُ ثِقلَها وخِفَّتَها، وإنّ اللّه لا يَخفى علَيهِ شيءٌ . قالَ: فما معنَى المِيزانِ ؟ قالَ عليه السلام: العَدلُ . قالَ: فما مَعناهُ في كِتابهِ: «فَمَنْ ثَقُلَت مَوازِينُهُ» ؟ قالَ عليه السلام: فمَن رَجَحَ عَمَلُهُ. (الاحتجاج: 2 /223 / 247).
3. Imam al-Sadiq (AS), when an atheist asked him, ‘Are deeds not weighed?’ replied, ‘No. Deeds are not bodies
[themselves], but descriptions of what has been done. Only one who is ignorant of things or does not know their weight or lightness would need to weigh, and verily nothing is hidden from Allah.’ And he asked, ‘So what is the meaning of the scale?’ He said, ‘Justice.’ He said, ‘So what does it mean in His Book: "As for those whose deeds weigh heavy"?’ He (AS) replied, ‘He whose
[good] deeds outnumber.’
