عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الاعْلَى بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ شَيْئاً هَلْ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ لا.
A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hajjal from Tha‘laba ibn Maymun from ‘Abd al-A‘la ibn ’A‘yan who said the following:
“Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘If a person does not know, will he be held responsible?’ He said, ‘No, he will not be held responsible.’”
