1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘ Abd al- Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has narrated the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was in the group of the circle of Rabi‘ah al-Ra’y when an Arab man came and asked Rabi‘ah al-Ra’iy a question and he replied. When he became quiet the Arab man asked, ‘Do you take responsibility for your answer?’ He remained quiet and did not respond. He repeated the question and he gave a similar answer and the Arab man asked, ‘Do you take the responsibility? But Rabi‘ah al-Ra’y remained quiet. Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said to him that it is his responsibility. He said, ‘Has He not said that everyone who issues a Fatwa is responsible for it?”’
IsnādAli ibn Ibrahim, de son père, de Ibn Abi Umair, de Abderrahman ibn al-Hajjaj, a dit : Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) était assis dans le cercle de Rabi'at al-Ray. Un Bédouin vint et posa une question à Rabi'at al-Ray, qui lui répondit. Quand il se tut, le Bédouin lui dit : "Est-ce sur ton cou ?" Rabi'at se tut et ne lui répondit rien. Le Bédouin lui posa à nouveau la question et il lui répondit de la même manière. Alors le Bédouin lui dit : "Est-ce sur ton cou ?" Rabi'at se tut. Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) lui dit : "C'est sur son cou." Ou il a dit : "Et chaque questionneur est garant."
