Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 71
وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "سَأَلَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ يَأْتِي بَيْتَ رَجُلٍ فَنَهَاهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ بَيْتَهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَفْعَلَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى اَلسُّلْطَانِ فَقَالَ اَلسُّلْطَانُ إِنْ فَعَلَ فَاقْتُلْهُ قَالَ فَقَتَلَهُ فَمَا تَرَى فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ أَرَى أَنْ لاَ يَقْتُلَهُ إِنَّهُ إِنِ اِسْتَقَامَ هَذَا ثُمَّ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ لِعَدُوِّهِ دَخَلَ بَيْتِي فَقَتَلْتُهُ".
Al-Husayn ibn Said narrated from Fadalah from Dawud ibn Farqad from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, that Imam عليه السلام recounted: "Dawud ibn Ali asked me about a man who used to visit another man's house, and the owner forbade him from coming to his house, but he refused to stop. So the owner went to the ruler, and the ruler said: 'If he does it again, kill him.' So the man killed him. What is your opinion on this?" So I (Imam عليه السلام) said: "I see that he should not have killed him. If this ruling were upheld, then anyone could later claim that an enemy entered their house, and they killed him."
