Assalamu Alaikum,

I was once told or perhaps heard in a lecture, that Imam Reza as helps the believers cross the sirat in the next world, on the condition that we visit him (shrine). 

Please can anyone give me the reference/source to this, it would be most appreciated? I need this for a project.

Thank you.

Unlikely to have promised such a thing. Especially when Muhammad (S) has said:

قُلْ مَا كُنْتُ بِدْعًا مِّنَ الرُّسُلِ وَمَآ أَدْرِى مَا يُفْعَلُ بِى وَلَا بِكُمْ  ۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحٰىٓ إِلَىَّ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
"Say, I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."
(QS. Al-Ahqaf 46: Verse 9)

Not only did he say that, Allah has told him he is to say that. Sunnis also ignore this.

Alaikas Salaam sister,

I didn't mention page number as different editions and languages have different page number.

There's even this:

Quote

وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ - 69:44

لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ - 69:45

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ - 69:46

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ - 69:47

وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ - 69:48

And if Muhammad had made up about Us some [false] sayings, We would have seized him by the right hand; Then We would have cut from him the aorta. And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him. And indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder for the righteous.

Although I wish Imam Ridha (عليه السلام) could help me cross Sirat.

Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) give the power to intercede on behalf of other to whomever He (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) wish. 

He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves. And they, from fear of Him, are apprehensive. al-Anbiya’ 21:28

This verse is referring to the Messengers (saws), and Prophet Muhammad (saws) is among them.

:bismillah:

Surah Al-Araf, Verse 46:
وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ وَعَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَعْرِفُونَ كُلًّا بِسِيمَاهُمْ وَنَادَوْا أَصْحَابَ الْجَنَّةِ أَن سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ لَمْ يَدْخُلُوهَا وَهُمْ يَطْمَعُونَ

And between the two there shall be a veil, and on the most elevated places there shall be men who know all by their marks, and they shall call out to the dwellers of the garden: Peace be on you; they shall not have yet entered it, though they hope.
(English - Shakir)

Surah Al-Araf, Verse 47:
وَإِذَا صُرِفَتْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ تِلْقَاءَ أَصْحَابِ النَّارِ قَالُوا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

And when their eyes shall be turned towards the inmates of the fire, they shall say: Our Lord! place us not with the unjust
(English - Shakir)

Surah Al-Araf, Verse 48:
وَنَادَىٰ أَصْحَابُ الْأَعْرَافِ رِجَالًا يَعْرِفُونَهُم بِسِيمَاهُمْ قَالُوا مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنكُمْ جَمْعُكُمْ وَمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

And the dwellers of the most elevated places shall call out to men whom they will recognize by their marks saying: Of no avail were to you your amassing and your behaving haughtily:
(English - Shakir)

Surah Al-Araf, Verse 49:
أَهَٰؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أَقْسَمْتُمْ لَا يَنَالُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَةٍ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ

Are these they about whom you swore that Allah will not bestow mercy on them? Enter the garden; you shall have no fear, nor shall you grieve.
(English - Shakir)

Imam Reza (عليه السلام) is one of these "Rijaal" (Men).

Salam you really use verses of Qur'an like a wahbi in worst places without knowing true meaning of it , Imam Reza (عليه السلام) promise based on divine knowledge not a simple human promise anyway you don't understand meaning of intercession.

:) I can understand the very reason of your wandering in between the verses of Qur'an. Come to the door of knowledge, the door of the one who possess knowledge of the book & submit, that's the only solution you have otherwise, these verses have the potential to misguide many. 

Imagine what you're thinking in the light of this verse:


وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ {107}

[Shakir 21:107] And We have not sent you but as a mercy to the worlds.
[Pickthal 21:107] We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples.
[Yusufali 21:107] We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures.

Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) is the Prophet of mercy for every "Aalam". 


It is very strange that you are drawing strange conclusions even when the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) saying "I only follow that which is revealed to me". Is this alone not a guarantee for the success?

The impossibility of fabricating anything in Qur'an and the impossibility of adding or subtracting anything from Qur'an or even saying anything out of his own desire has been mentioned in several places in Qur'an. It is inconceivable that Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) could change or alter the divine message, the above verses are mentioning the same impossibility. For further clarification, you can see the following verses:
 

Quote

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ ۙ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا ائْتِ بِقُرْآنٍ غَيْرِ هَٰذَا أَوْ بَدِّلْهُ ۚ قُلْ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أُبَدِّلَهُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي ۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ ۖ إِنِّي أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ {15}

[Shakir 10:15] And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who hope not for Our meeting say: Bring a Qur'an other than this or change it. Say: It does not beseem me that I should change it of myself; I follow naught but what is revealed to me; surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a mighty day.
[Pickthal 10:15] And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, they who look not for the meeting with Us say: Bring a Lecture other than this, or change it. Say (O Muhammad): It is not for me to change it of my accord. I only follow that which is inspired in me. Lo! if I disobey my Lord I fear the retribution of an awful Day.
[Yusufali 10:15] But when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed unto them, those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us, Say: "Bring us a reading other than this, or change this," Say: "It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I follow naught but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a Great Day (to come)."

Quote

وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ {3}

[Shakir 53:3] Nor does he speak out of desire.
[Pickthal 53:3] Nor doth he speak of (his own) desire.
[Yusufali 53:3] Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire.

People who meet certain criteria and martyrs will also be authorized by our Creator to intercede for others and help them. But of course, intercession is of no use to those who do not --qualify-- for it. For instance, one of the Aimmah (عليه السلام) have said: "Our intercession is not for someone who believes salaat to be a light matter".

As for the bridge of siraat, I believe it exists solely for the ruin of the deniers of the Ahl al Bayt (عليه السلام). Those who are their Shia will not cross it, rather they will be flown across it. It is not meant for crossing on your own. The Ahl al Bayt (عليه السلام) and the standard of Abbas (عليه السلام) will be there before the bridge. The Shia will be recognized and separated there. Those with animosity for the Prophet's progeny and confidence in their worships will be allowed to go on and attempt to cross it on their own, and they will fall to their doom. The Sunni molvis says things like that the bridge is very narrow, sharper than the edge of a sword, 500 years of journey it takes while in inclination and 500 years in descent. Also inane stuff like that the hooves of your sacrificial animals is designed to traverse it, the animal you sacrifice on Hajj or eid al-adhha. In truth, the bridge is not meant to be traversed except by the haughty ones who deny the wilayah of the ahl al bayt (عليه السلام).

(QS. Al-Ahqaf 46: Verse 9)

Qur'an 3:7

-------------

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ {1}

[Shakir 1:1] In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ {2}

[Shakir 1:2] All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ {3}

[Shakir 1:3] The Beneficent, the Merciful.

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ {4}

[Shakir 1:4] Master of the Day of Judgment.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ {5}

[Shakir 1:5] Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ {6}

[Shakir 1:6] Keep us on the right path.

صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ {7}

[Shakir 1:7] The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not (the path) of those upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.

---------------------

As a layman, I would say, everything else just elaborate on the above Concepts. So, Yes, what you quote is on the same theme of  1:4 . However, have you read the entire Surah? 

1:6 on whose Path? 

First part of 1:7- If the path of these is not guaranteed Success, what is the point of such path? 

___________________________

Your bringing in the Verse which has nothing to do with this subject -means this - Imagine, someone says follow me to succeed but you know what I am not even sure if I am on the path- Does this makes sense?

For the  Real Shia of Imam Ali(عليه السلام) as per 1:7 on the Path( Active on the Path). 

Imam Ali(عليه السلام) is distributing Heaven and Hell right Now. ( Literalists, ignore and move on). Love equals Heaven, and Hate equals Hell.

In regards to intercession on the Day of Judgement. I wish it were that easy, but I think it's not. Much thought needs to go into the verses that talk about intercession. Some of which categorically say that there will be no intercession on the Day. Take this for example:

Quote

[2:254] O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.

[2:255] Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the Earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the Earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

So, do these verses teach that the only intercession acceptable to Allah is that which He permits? Or do these verses actually mean that Allah can permit intercession if He wanted to, but won’t because all intercession belongs to Him exclusively? As explicitly mentioned in 39:43-44?

There is a plethora of other verses that question the belief of intercession on the Day: 2:48, 2:122-123, 3:128, 6:51, 6:70, 17:56-57, 32:4, 36:23, 39:19, 40:18, 82:19.

Then, you have the verses that mention He would not allow another to intercede except if He permits: 10:3, 19:87, 20:109, 21:28, 34:23. But does this mean He would permit?

(And verses that there's no intercession for disbelievers: 9:114, 11:46, 9:80, 7:53, 26:100, 74:48.)

As Muslims, we all agree that the Qur'an cannot have any contradiction.

Further, Allah clearly says He does not forgive association, only that which is less than that [4:48, 4:116]. Association is something that can be committed quite easily, by taking religion from an unauthorised source [6:121] (and maybe now, some of you who have discussed with me before will understand why I take a Qur'an-centric stance, for it's the only book with Allah's stamp of authority). Lastly, Allah ridicules those that associate with Him in matters of intercession [6:93-94, 10:18].

Just food for thought. At least for me.

Wallahu Alam

^ It means some group of people will get shafa'a and some don't.

Devil disputing the Prophet (saws) means the knowledge they share will be contradict to what Prophet teach. If the hadith is with Qur'an and it is the saying of Prophet , it does not mean that it is from devil. Thus saying all hadiths are work of devil to contradict Qur'an is false. Or that the source of it is devil disputing is false too.

Surah Taha, Verse 109:
يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلًا

On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.
(English - Shakir)

Someone has indeed sold his self and achieved the مَرْضَاتِ اللّهِ 

Next simplest proof:

Surah Maryam, Verse 87:
لَّا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفَاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِندَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ عَهْدًا

They shall not control intercession, save he who has made a covenant with the Beneficent Allah.
(English - Shakir)

Someone among believers are indeed the bearers of divine covenant (Imamate):

قَالَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِي قَالَ لاَ يَنَالُ عَهْدِي الظَّالِمِينَ

2:124 

I think these two references covers the whole matter.

I don't know what makes people not believe in intercession on judgement day. It is because of our dearest Prophet that the ummah survives despite committing all sort of sins, and why most of us haven't been deformed into animals physically too as previous nations were. And it is by his and his household's intercession our incomplete and faulty deeds will be accepted. I believe there is no chance for any man nor their worshiping is worth anything without intercession. So strange that some think their ibadahs are perfect and qualify for acceptance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merv

Number of Verses

Di'bil's Ta'iyya has 102 verses, to which Imam al-Rida (a) added the two other verses as below:

And a grave is in Tus; What a sorrowful tragedy it is! [This tragedy] with sighs would keep blazing [a profound grief] in the heart Until the Resurrection, when Allah sends the Riser Relieves us from the distresses and grief
