[2/84] الكافي: علي، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن حماد، عن حريز قال: كانت لإسماعيل بن أبي عبد الله دنانير وأراد رجل من قريش أن يخرج إلى اليمن فقال إسماعيل يا أبت إن فلانا يريد الخروج إلى اليمن وعندي كذا وكذا دينارا فترى أن أدفعها إليه يبتاع لي بها بضاعة من اليمن فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام يا بني أما بلغك أنه يشرب الخمر فقال إسماعيل هكذا يقول الناس فقال يا بني لا تفعل فعصى إسماعيل أباه ودفع إليه دنانيره فاستهلكها ولم يأته بشيء منها … فقال يا بني إن الله عز وجل يقول في كتابه يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمؤْمِنِين يقول يصدق الله ويصدق للمؤمنين فإذا شهد عندك المؤمنون فصدقهم …

2. [2/84] al-Kafi: Ali from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hammad from Hariz who said: Ismail the son of Abi Abdillah had gold coins and a man from the Quraysh wanted to set out to Yaman, so Ismail said: O father – so and so wants to set out to Yaman and I have some gold coins do you think I should give them to him to buy me some goods from Yaman? Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: O my son – has it not reached you that he drinks wine? Ismail said: this is what the people say, he said: O my son – do not do that, but Ismail did not obey his father and gave the gold coins to him so he (that man) lost it all and did not give anything of them (back) to him… he said: O my son – verily Allāh Mighty and Majestic says in his book: “(he) believes in Allāh and believes the believers” (9:61) – meaning: confirms the truth of Allāh and considers the believers truthful, so if the believers witness something to you then accept it from them…
