12. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Najiyah who has said the following
“Once I said to Abu Ja’far (a.s.) ‘Al-Mughirah says, ‘A believer does not suffer from leprosy, bars (a form of leprosy) or so and so.’” The Imam said, ‘He must be unaware of Sahib Yasin (the man mentioned in (36:20)) whose hand was paralyzed - the Imam let his fingers hanging - and said, “It is as if I look at his paralysis. He came to the people, warning them against disbelief and the next day he was murdered.” The Imam then said, ‘A believer may suffer any form of misfortune and die by any form of death but does not commit suicide.’”
12ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لا يُبْتَلَى بِالْجُذَامِ وَلا بِالْبَرَصِ وَلا بِكَذَا وَلا بِكَذَا فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَغَافِلاً عَنْ صَاحِبِ يَاسِينَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُكَنَّعاً ثُمَّ رَدَّ أَصَابِعَهُ فَقَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى تَكْنِيعِهِ أَتَاهُمْ فَأَنْذَرَهُمْ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَتَلُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُبْتَلَى بِكُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَيَمُوتُ بِكُلِّ مِيتَةٍ إِلا أَنَّهُ لا يَقْتُلُ نَفْسَهُ.
