قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ( عليه السلام ) إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَلْزَمَ مَكَّةَ أَوِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ عَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ فَمَا تَقُولُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَأَدِّهِ إِلَى مُؤَدَّى دَيْنِكَ وَ انْظُرْ أَنْ تَلْقَى اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ دَيْنٌ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يَخُونُ .

So what are you<sup>asws</sup> saying?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Return and pay your debt to the demander, and wait, and meet Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted and there is no debt upon you. A Believer does not betray’.
