قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَيُّ شَيْءٍ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ مِنَ الْأَيْمَانِ فَقَالَ مَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ الْبِرُّ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ إِذَا لَمْ تَفِ بِهِ وَ مَا حَلَفْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ الْمَعْصِيَةُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ عَنْهُ وَ مَا كَانَ سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِمَّا لَيْسَ فِيهِ بِرٌّ وَ لَا مَعْصِيَةٌ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Ibn Mukan, from Hamza Bin Humran, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘which is the thing in which is the expiation, from the oaths?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whatever you swear upon from what is the righteousness therein, so upon is the expiation when you do not fulfill it; and whatever you swear upon from what is the disobedience therein, so there is not expiation upon you regarding it when you were to retract from it; and whatever was besides that from what therein is neither a righteousness nor a disobedience, so it is not with anything’.
