Hadith 1002
۞
12. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Rib’i from al- Fudayl from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following
“The spirit of belief is moved away from him as long as he is on her belly and when he comes down the spirit returns.’ The narrator has said that he then asked, ‘What if one intends to commit fornication?’ The Imam said, ‘No, consider, if one intends to steal, will his hand be cut?”’
12ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
يُسْلَبُ مِنْهُ رُوحُ الإيمَانِ مَا دَامَ عَلَى بَطْنِهَا فَإِذَا نَزَلَ عَادَ الإيمَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ هَمَّ قَالَ لا أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ هَمَّ أَنْ يَسْرِقَ أَ تُقْطَعُ يَدُهُ.
