Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 51
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا فُضَيْلُ إِنَّ الصَّادِقَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُصَدِّقُهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ وَتُصَدِّقُهُ نَفْسُهُ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Isma’il al-Basri from Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام said to me, ‘O Fudayl, the truthfulness of a truthful person is first verified by Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy. He knows that he is truthful. Then his own soul confirms; it knows his truthfulness.’”
