Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 12
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ رِئَابٍ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "مَنْ حَمَلَ اَلسِّلاَحَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَهُوَ مُحَارِبٌ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلاً لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ اَلرِّيبَةِ".
Ali ibn Ri'ab narrated from Ḍurays from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام who said: "Whoever carries a weapon at night is considered a highway robber (muharib), unless he is a man who is not known for suspicion or wrongdoing."
