رَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) شَهَادَةَ السَّائِلِ الَّذِي يَسْأَلُ فِي كَفِّهِ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) لِأَنَّهُ لَا يُؤْمَنُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَ إِنْ مُنِعَ سَخِطَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzal, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> rejected the testimony of the beggar, the one who begs by his palm’. Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because he is not to be trusted upon the testimony, and that is because if he is given, he is pleased, and if he is prevented, he gets angry’.
