قُلْتُ لَهُ اللِّصُّ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيَّ فِي بَيْتِي يُرِيدُ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي فَقَالَ فَاقْتُلْهُ فَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ دَمَهُ فِي عُنُقِي قَالَ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ فَأَيْنَ عَلَامَةُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ أَ تَرَى بِالصُّبْحِ مِنْ خَفَاءٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَإِنَّ أَمْرَنَا إِذَا كَانَ كَانَ أَبْيَنَ مِنْ فَلَقِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مُزَاوَلَةُ جَبَلٍ بِظُفُرٍ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ مُزَاوَلَةِ مُلْكٍ لَمْ يَنْقَضِ أَكْلُهُ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ لِلظَّلَمَةِ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Qalanasy, from Ahmad Bin Al Fazl, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Fazara, from Ans, or Haysam Bin Al Bara’a, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The burglar entered upon me in my house intending (killing) me and (taking) my wealth’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So kill him, for I<sup>asws</sup> keep Allah<sup>azwj</sup> as a Witness along with the one who hears me<sup>asws</sup>, that his blood is upon my neck’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! So where is the sign of this matter (Al-Qaim<sup>asws</sup>)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do you see the morning from concealment?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So, our<sup>asws</sup> matter, when it would be, would be clearer than the break of dawn in the morning’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Achievement by engaging with a mountain is easier than engaging with a kingdom whose consumption is yet to expire. Therefore, fear Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High, and do not kill yourselves for the unjust ones’.
