كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْإِمَامِ هَلْ يَحْتَلِمُ وَ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي بَعْدَ مَا فَصَلَ الْكِتَابُ الِاحْتِلَامُ شَيْطَنَةٌ وَ قَدْ أَعَاذَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَوَرَدَ الْجَوَابُ حَالُ الْأَئِمَّةِ فِي الْمَنَامِ حَالُهُمْ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ لَا يُغَيِّرُ النَّوْمُ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئاً وَ قَدْ أَعَاذَ اللَّهُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ مِنْ لَمَّةِ الشَّيْطَانِ كَمَا حَدَّثَتْكَ نَفْسُكَ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
12. Ishaq has narrated from al-Aqra‘ who has said the following. “I wrote to abu Muhammad (a.s.) asking him if Imams experience wet dreams? I said to myself after the letter had gone, “Wet dream is something Satanic, and Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has protected those whom He has given authority against such things.” The answer came. “The conditions of the Imams when asleep is the same as when they are awake. Sleep does not change anything in them. Allah has given protection to those whom He has given authority from Satanic encounters as you spoke to yourself.”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar·Thaqalayn link·The Arabic above is the original.
