Jabir said that he once told Imam Baqir (a.s): “There are some people who are such that whenever a part of the Quran is read for them or they are reminded of it, one of them becomes unconscious. He gets so unconscious that he will not even realize it if you cut off both his hands or legs.” The Imam (a.s) said: “Praise be to God. This is a Satanic act. They have not been instructed to do so. The Quran is only meant to cause fear of God, softening of the heart and weeping.”
قال جابر: قلت لأبي جعفر (عليه السلام): إن قوما إذا ذكروا بشئ من القرآن أو حدثوا به صعق أحدهم حتى ترى أنه لو قطعت يداه ورجلاه لم يشعر بذلك، فقال: سبحان الله ذاك من الشيطان ما أمروا بهذا! إنما هو اللين والرقة والدمعة والوجل.
