Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Adultery
وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا زَنَى اَلزَّانِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ رُوحُ اَلْإِيمَانِ فَإِنِ اِسْتَغْفَرَ عَادَ إِلَيْهِ" قَالَ "وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "لاَ يَزْنِي اَلزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لاَ يَشْرَبُ اَلشَّارِبُ حِينَ يَشْرَبُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لاَ يَسْرِقُ اَلسَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ" " قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "وَ كَانَ أَبِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ "إِذَا زَنَى اَلزَّانِي فَارَقَهُ رُوحُ اَلْإِيمَانِ" قُلْتُ فَهَلْ يَبْقَى فِيهِ مِنَ اَلْإِيمَانِ شَيْءٌ مَا أَوْ قَدِ اِنْخَلَعَ مِنْهُ أَجْمَعُ قَالَ "لاَ بَلْ فِيهِ فَإِذَا قَامَ عَادَ إِلَيْهِ رُوحُ اَلْإِيمَانِ" ".
Al-Ala reported from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said that Abu Jafar (a.s) said: "When a fornicator commits fornication, the spirit of faith departs from him. If he seeks forgiveness, it returns to him." Imam (a.s) also said that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "A fornicator does not commit fornication while he is a believer, a drinker does not drink while he is a believer, and a thief does not steal while he is a believer." Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) further said: "My father (a.s) used to say: 'When a fornicator commits fornication, the spirit of faith leaves him.'" I asked: "Does any part of faith remain in him, or does it completely leave him?" Imam (a.s) replied: "No, rather a part of it remains. But when he ceases the act, the spirit of faith returns to him."
