كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جَالِساً عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ زُرَارَةُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ شَكَّ فِي اللَّهِ فَقَالَ كَافِرٌ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَشَكَّ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ كَافِرٌ قَالَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى زُرَارَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَكْفُرُ إِذَا جَحَدَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>, seated on his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> left, and Zurara was on his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> right, and Abu Baseer came over and he said, ‘O Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>! What are you<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> saying regarding the one who doubts in Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>’. So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘A <span class="iTxt">Kafir</span> (Unbeliver), O Abu Muhammad!’ He said, ‘So (what about) the doubt in Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>?’ So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘A <span class="iTxt">Kafir</span> (Unbeliver)’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> turned towards Zurara and he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, he disblieves when he rejects’.
