4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following
“I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who hunts because of his ignorance of the rules. He (the Imam) said, ‘There is ransom for it upon him.’ I then said, ‘It happened because of mistake.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘What is a mistake in your view?’ I replied, ‘It is when one shoots at one palm tree but it hits another one.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is a mistake but there is ransom on him.’ I said, ‘But he has taken a bird knowingly and has slaughtered it while he is in the state of Ihram.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘There is Kaffarah (expiation) upon him.’ I then asked, ‘Have you not said that a mistake, ignorance and doing something knowingly are not the same? In what way then, is knowledgeable different from ignorant and mistaking? He (the Imam) said, ‘He has sinned and played with his religion.’”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمُحْرِمِ يَصِيدُ الصَّيْدَ بِجَهَالَةٍ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ كَفَّارَةٌ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ خَطَأً قَالَ وَأَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ الْخَطَأُ عِنْدَكَ قُلْتُ يَرْمِي هَذِهِ النَّخْلَةَ فَيُصِيبُ نَخْلَةً أُخْرَى قَالَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْخَطَأُ وَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ أَخَذَ طَائِراً مُتَعَمِّداً فَذَبَحَهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ قُلْتُ أَ لَسْتَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ الْخَطَأَ وَالْجَهَالَةَ وَالْعَمْدَ لَيْسُوا بِسَوَاءٍ فَلأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَفْضُلُ الْمُتَعَمِّدُ الْجَاهِلَ وَالْخَاطِىَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَثِمَ وَلَعِبَ بِدِينِهِ.
