2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ الله بْنِ [ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ ] هَارُونَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤادَ كُلُّ أُولئِكَ كانَ عَنْهُ مَسْؤُلاً قَالَ يُسْأَلُ السَّمْعُ عَمَّا سَمِعَ وَالْبَصَرُ عَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ وَالْفُؤَادُ عَمَّا عَقَدَ عَلَيْهِ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father. And Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa all have narrated from al-Barqi from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya ibn ‘Imran al-Halabi from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn al-Hassan from al- Hassan ibn Harun who has said the following: “Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) said to me, ‘It is of certainty that the ears, eyes and heart will all be questioned. ’(17:36) He said, ‘The ears will be questioned about what they have heard, the eyes will be questioned about what they have looked upon and the heart will be questioned about what it has established as belief.’”
