Hadith.3297 - And it was narrated by Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, from Al-Ala' ibn Sayabah, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said that Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), said
"The testimony of one who hastens ahead of the pilgrims is not accepted, as he has killed his mount, consumed his provisions, exhausted himself, and neglected his prayers."
It was asked: "What about the muleteer, the camel driver, and the sailor?"
Imam (as) said: "There is no harm in them; their testimony is accepted if they are righteous."
3297 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "لاَ تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَةُ سَابِقِ اَلْحَاجِّ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَ أَفْنَى زَادَهُ وَ أَتْعَبَ نَفْسَهُ وَ اِسْتَخَفَّ بِصَلاَتِهِ قِيلَ فَالْمُكَارِي وَ اَلْجَمَّالُ وَ اَلْمَلاَّحُ " فَقَالَ "وَ مَا بَأْسٌ بِهِمْ تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَتُهُمْ إِذَا كَانُوا صُلَحَاءَ".
