Hadith 996
۞
6. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn ‘Abdahu who has said the following
“Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘Is it true that a fornicator does not fornicate if he is a believer?’ The Imam said, ‘No, it is not as such, however, when he is on her belly, belief is taken away from him and when he moves away, his belief is returned to him, if he repeats it his belief is taken away from him.’ I then asked, ‘Even if he wants to repeat?’ The Imam said, there are many who want to repeat but do not do so.’”
6ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) لا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ قَالَ لا إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى بَطْنِهَا سُلِبَ الإيمَانُ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا قَامَ رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَادَ سُلِبَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فَقَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَنْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَعُودَ فَلا يَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ أَبَداً.
