7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj from Zurara who has said the following: “Once I asked abu Ja’far  ‘Will a believer go in the fire?’ The Imam said, ‘No, by Allah.’ I then asked, ‘So no one will be sent in the fire except the unbelievers?’ The Imam said, ‘No, except whoever Allah wills.’ I (the narrator) repeated my question several times and the Imam said, ‘O Zurara, I say, “No,” and I say, ‘Except whoever Allah will wish’ and you say, “No,” but do not say, ‘Except whoever Allah will wish.’” Ibn abu ‘Umayr has said that Hisham ibn al-Hakam and Hammad have narrated from Zurara who has said the following: “I said to myself, ‘An old man has no knowledge of polemics.’ The narrator (Zurara) has said the Imam said to me, ‘O Zurara, what do you say about one who says, ‘I am at your command (whatever you say in matters of belief I accept). Will you kill him? What do you say about your servants and people very closely related to you? Will you kill them?’ “I (the narrator) then said to myself, ‘I am the one who has no knowledge of polemics.’”
