Hadith 637
۞
13. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ibn Faddal from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, rejected the testimony of a beggar who extends his hand for help. It is because he does not believe in testimony in the sense that if one gives to him something he is happy and if he does not give anything he becomes angry.’”
13- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
رَدَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) شَهَادَةَ السَّائِلِ الَّذِي يَسْأَلُ فِي كَفِّهِ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لأنَّهُ لا يُؤْمَنُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ وَذَلِكَ لأنَّهُ إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ وَإِنْ مُنِعَ سَخِطَ.
