Chapter on Oaths, Vows, and Expiations

وَ رَوَى حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "كُلُّ ذَنْبٍ يُكَفِّرُهُ اَلْقَتْلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ اَلدَّيْنَ لاَ كَفَّارَةَ لَهُ إِلاَّ اَلْأَدَاءُ أَوْ يُرْضَى صَاحِبُهُ أَوْ يَعْفُوَ اَلَّذِي لَهُ اَلْحَقُّ".
Hanan ibn Sadir narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that he said: "Every sin is expiated by being killed in the way of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, except for debt, there is no expiation for it except its repayment, the satisfaction of the creditor, or forgiveness by the one to whom the right belongs."
