قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ فِي الْحَدَاثَةِ إِلَى الْمُخَارَجَةِ مَعَ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْحَيِّ وَ إِنِّي بُلِيتُ أَنْ ضَرَبْتُ رَجُلًا ضَرْبَةً بِعَصاً فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ أَ كُنْتَ تَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِذْ ذَاكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ لِي مَا كُنْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ جَهْلِكَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْكَ مِمَّا دَخَلْتَ فِيهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al nahdy, from Marouk Bin Ubeyd, from one of our companions, from Mansour Bin Hazim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I had gone out with regards to the need to the outskirts with youths of the people of Al-Hayy, and I had a misadventure that I struck a man with a strike of a stick, so I killed him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Did you recognise this matter (Al-Wilayah) when that (happened)?’ I said, ‘No’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘What you were upon from your ignorance with this matter (Al-Wilayah) is severer upon you from what you have entered into’.
