مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ اَلْعِجْلِيِّ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ شُهُودٌ أَنَّهُ أَ فْطَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ قَالَ» يُسْأَلُ هَلْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ إِفْطَارِكَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِثْمٌ فَإِنْ قَالَ لاَ فَإِنَّ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ وَ إِنْ قَا لَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْهَكَهُ ضَرْباً«.
Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from a number of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Mahbub, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Burayd al-Ijli, who said: Abu Ja’far (a.s), peace be upon him, was asked about ‘a man against whom witnesses testified that he broke his fast for three days from the month of Ramadan.’ Imam (a.s) said: “This man is asked, ‘Is there any sin upon you for your breaking the fast in the month of Ramadan?’ If he says, ‘No,’ then upon the Imam is that he kill him. And if he says, ‘Yes,’ then upon the Imam is that he severely beat him.”
