Al-Kafi 2862

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, from Zurara who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far^asws, ‘Would a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> enter into the Fire?’ He^asws said: ‘No, by Allah^azwj!’ I said, ‘So none would enter it except for an Unbeliever (<span class="iTxt">Kafir</span>)?’ He^asws said: ‘No, except the one whom Allah^azwj so Desires to’. So when I reiterated it upon him^asws time and again, he^asws said to me: ‘Yes, Zurara! I^asws am saying, ‘No’, and I^asws am (also) saying: ‘Except for the one whom Allah^azwj so Desires to’, while you are saying, ‘No’, and you are not saying, ‘Except the one whom Allah^azwj so Desires to’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Hisham Bin Al-Hakam narrated to me, and Hammad, from Zurara who said, ‘I said within myself, ‘And old man. There is no knowledge to him with the debates’. So he^asws said to me: ‘O Zurara! What are you saying regarding the one who acknowledge to you with the judgment, would you kill him? What are you saying regarding your servant and your family, would you kill them?’ So I said (to myself), ‘I, by Allah^azwj, am the one who has no knowledge for the debating’’.
