Arabic text

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ لَوْ أَنَّا كَتَبْنا عَلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ سَلِّمُوا لِلْإِمَامِ تَسْلِيماً أَوِ اخْرُجُوا مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ رِضًا لَهُ ما فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْخِلَافِ فَعَلُوا ما يُوعَظُونَ بِهِ لَكانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ وَ أَشَدَّ تَثْبِيتاً وَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْوَالِي وَ يُسَلِّمُوا لِلَّهِ الطَّاعَةَ تَسْلِيماً.

Translation

210. From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) (regarding the Verse) “[4:66] And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives (totally submit themselves to the Imam) or go forth from your homes (for His Happiness), they would not have done it except a few of them; and if they (the opposing ones) had done what they were commanded, it would have certainly been better for them and best in strengthening (them)”, and regarding this Verse "[4:65] and then do not find any straightness in their hearts as to what you have decided from the command of the Guardian (asws) and submit to the obedience of Allah (azwj) with entire submission”
