١- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ جَيْشاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَاصَرُوا قَوْماً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَشْرَفَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَعْطُونِي الأمَانَ حَتَّى أَلْقَى صَاحِبَكُمْ وَأُنَاظِرَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ أَدْنَاهُمُ الأمَانَ وَجَبَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِهِمُ الْوَفَاءُ بِهِ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy from af-Sakuniy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘ Abd Allah , ‘What is the meaning of the words of the Holy Prophet, . . commitment of a person of the lowest position among them becomes a commitment of all of them (Muslims)?’” He (the Imam) replied, ‘It means, if the Muslim army surrounds a stronghold of the pagans and a man comes up saying, “Grant me immunity so I can debate your man.” If a man of the lowest position in the Muslim army grants him immunity, it becomes obligatory for all of them to fulfill that commitment.’”
