Her Statement about Her is Considered True

1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنِّي أَكُونُ فِي بَعْضِ الطُّرُقَاتِ فَأَرَى الْمَرْأَةَ الْحَسْنَاءَ وَلا آمَنُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ذَاتَ بَعْلٍ أَوْ مِنَ الْعَوَاهِرِ قَالَ لَيْسَ هَذَا عَلَيْكَ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَدِّقَهَا فِي نَفْسِهَا.
1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn Aslam from Ibrahim ibn al-Fadl from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, ‘I may find on my way a beautiful woman but I am not certain if she is married or is a prostitute.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is not your responsibility; you can accept her words.’”
