وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ بِالْكُوفَةِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَشَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَآهُمَا يُصَلِّيَانِ لِصَنَمٍ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَيْحَكَ لَعَلَّهُ بَعْضُ مَنْ يَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرُهُ فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلًا فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ هُمَا يُصَلِّيَانِ لِصَنَمٍ فَأَتَى بِهِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا ارْجِعَا فَأَبَيَا فَخَدَّ لَهُمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ أُخْدُوداً وَ أَجَّجَ فِيهِ نَاراً فَطَرَحَهُمَا فِيهِ- رَوَى ذَلِكَ مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع.

Hadith.3551 - And it is reported that two men in Kufa, who were Muslims, were brought before Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). A man testified that he had seen them praying to an idol. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Woe unto you! Perhaps it is someone who merely appeared similar to them, and the matter has confused you." Then, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) sent a man to observe them. The man returned and confirmed that they were indeed praying to an idol. So, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) summoned them and said: "Repent and return (to Islam)." But they refused. Then, Imam (as) dug a trench in the ground, lit a fire in it, and threw them into the fire. This was narrated by Musa ibn Bakr from al-Fudayl, from Abu Abdullah (as).
