قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أُخِذَا فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا ابْرَأَا مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَبَرِئَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا وَ أَبَى الْآخَرُ فَخُلِّيَ سَبِيلُ الَّذِي بَرِئَ وَ قُتِلَ الْآخَرُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الَّذِي بَرِئَ فَرَجُلٌ فَقِيهٌ فِي دِينِهِ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي لَمْ يَبْرَأْ فَرَجُلٌ تَعَجَّلَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Zakariyya Al <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, from Abdullah Bin Asad, from Abdullah Bin Ata’a who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Two men from the people of Al-Kufa were seized, and it was said to them, ‘Disavow from Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momin</span>een<sup>asws</sup>’. So one of the two disavowed and the other one refused. So they freed the way of the one who did disavow and killed the other one’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But as for the one who disavowed, so he is an understanding man in his Religion, and as for the one did not disavow, so he is a man who hastened to the Paradise’.
