Chapter on Whose Testimony Must Be Rejected and Whose Testimony Must Be Accepted
وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ شَهِدَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ وَ قَدْ قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ وَ رِجْلُهُ بِشَهَادَةٍ فَأَجَازَ شَهَادَتَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ تَابَ وَ عُرِفَتْ تَوْبَتُهُ.
And it was narrated by Isma'il bin Muslim from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, from his father Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, peace be upon him, that a man who had his hand and foot amputated based on testimony came to testify before Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him. Imam عليه السلام accepted his testimony, as the man had repented, and his repentance was known.
