Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 139
7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْكَذَّابَ يَهْلِكُ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَيَهْلِكُ أَتْبَاعُهُ بِالشُّبُهَاتِ.
7. Ali ibn al-Hakam has narrated (from Aban) from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘A liar is destroyed by means of clear evidence (his false claims) and his followers are destroyed on ambiguous evidence (accepting a leader whose qualification is doubtful).”’
