1104. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي ثُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُلاَزِمَ مَكَّةَ وَ اَلْمَدِينَةَ وَ عَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ فَمَا تَقُولُ قَالَ "اِرْجِعْ إِلَى مُؤَدَّى دَيْنِكَ وَ اُنْظُرْ أَنْ تَلْقَى اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ دَيْنٌ فَإِنَّ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَخُونُ".

It is narrated from Abu Thumamah who said: I said to Abu Ja'far Al-Thani (a.s), "I wish to remain in Makkah and Madinah, but I have a debt upon me. What do you advise?" Imam (a.s) said: "Return and pay off your debt, and make sure you meet Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, without any debt upon you, for the believer does not betray."
