1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al-Kinaniy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , about an accuser who is convicted and subjected to penalty and about what his repentance is. He (the Imam) said, ‘He must call his soul a liar.’ I then asked, ‘If he calls his soul a liar and repents, is then his testimony acceptable ? 5 He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it then becomes acceptable. 5 ”
