Hadith.5221 - In the narration of Ibn Bukayr, Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Whoever intentionally kills with anything, whether small or large, is subject to retribution (qiṣaṣ)."

“Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I am afraid of scorpions. The Imam said, ‘Look at the little bear (Ursa Minor ) and of the three stars next to the middle one of them there is a small star. Arabs call it al-Suha’. We call it Aslama, look at it gazing every night and say, ‘O Lord of Aslama, confer al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, hasten their happiness and grant us safety and protection.’ Ishaq has said that he did not miss it except once at which time a scorpion stung bit him.’”

On this day, the people of his assembly and the elders convened to the Shaykh al-Faqih, Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi (ra), and they asked him to dictate to them and describe the Imami religion with conciseness and summarization. So, he (ra) said: The Imami religion is the affirmation of the oneness of Allah, exalted be His mention, and the negation of similarity (tashbih) [to His creation] for Him, and His exclusion from what is not suitable for Him. It is the affirmation of the prophets of Allah, His messengers, His Proofs, His angels, and His books. It is the affirmation that Muhammad (s) is the master of the prophets, and that he is superior to them, and [superior to] all the Angels of Proximity, and that he is the Seal of Prophets. There is no prophet after him until the Day of the Resurrection. All the prophets, messengers, and Imams (as) are superior to the angels. They are immaculate (ma`sumin) and purified from every uncleanliness and filth. They do not consider doing neither the minor sin nor the major, nor do they commit it, and they are a safeguard for the people of the Earth just as the stars are a safeguard for the people of heaven.
