1- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ فَزَارَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَوْ هَيْثَمِ بْنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي جَعْفَرٍ اللِّصُّ يَدْخُلُ فِي بَيْتِي يُرِيدُ نَفْسِي وَمَالِي قَالَ اقْتُلْ فَأُشْهِدُ اللهَ وَمَنْ سَمِعَ أَنَّ دَمَهُ فِي عُنُقِي.

1. Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Kufiy has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qalanisiy from Ahmad ibn al-Fadl from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Fazarah from Anas or Haytham ibn al-Bara’ who has said the following: “I asked abu Ja’far , about a thief who may enter my house to harm my life or properties.’ He (the Imam) said, ’Eliminate him. Allah and those who hear me are my witness; his blood (life) is on my neck (my responsibility).”’
