Hadith 2069
۞
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from abu Hamzah who has said the following
“Once I was with Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), when a man came and said, ‘O abu Muhammad, I am addicted to women. One day I commit fornication and the other day I fast; if this can become expiation for the sin.’ Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), said, ‘There is not anything more beloved to Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, than obedience to Him and not to disobey Him. So you must not fornicate and you must not fast.’ Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), pulled him to himself holding his hand and said, ‘O fornicator, you do the deeds of the people of hell and hope to enter paradise?”’
5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنِّي مُبْتَلًى بِالنِّسَاءِ فَأَزْنِي يَوْماً وَأَصُومُ يَوْماً فَيَكُونُ ذَا كَفَّارَةً لِذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُطَاعَ وَلا يُعْصَى فَلا تَزْنِ وَلا تَصُمْ فَاجْتَذَبَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا زَنَّةَ تَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَتَرْجُو أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ.
