Hadith 1034 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُکَیْرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع فِی قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا زَنَی الرَّجُلُ فَارَقَهُ رُوحُ الْإِیمَانِ قَالَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَی وَ أَیَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ ذَلِکَ الَّذِی یُفَارِقُهُ.
8. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from Ibn Fadhal from Abdillah b. Bukayr who said: The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.), “What is meant by the saying of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.): When a person commits fornication, the soul of faith is taken away from him?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The soul separated from him is the same that is discussed in this verse: We granted them piety through this soul.”
