In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said
“A man went to the Prophet of God (a.s) and said that he had come to swear allegiance to Islam. God's Prophet (a.s) said: “So that you kill your father?” The man withdrew his hand and changed his mind. Later he returned and said he had come to swear allegiance to Islam. God's Prophet (a.s) said: “So that you kill your father?” The man said: “Yes.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “A believer sees his faith in his actions and an unbeliever sees his disbelief in his actions. I swear by Him who has control over my life! They do not realize their own position and learn a lesson from the evil deeds of the hypocrites and the infidels which are due to the disbelief.”
من كتاب المحاسن: عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
أتى رجل إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: يا رسول الله إني جئت أبايعك على الإسلام، فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): على أن تقتل أباك، فقبض الرجل يده وانصرف، ثم عاد وقال: يا رسول الله إني جئت لأبايعك على الإسلام، فقال له: على أن تقتل أباك، قال: نعم، فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن المؤمن يرى يقينه في عمله، والكافر يرى إنكاره في عمله، فوالذي نفسي بيده ما عرفوا أمرهم فاعتبروا إنكار الكافرين والمنافقين بأعمالهم الخبيثة.
