3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Yahya ibn al-Mubarak from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from ‘Asim ibn Humayd from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Once I said to abu Ja’far (a.s.) ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, what do you say about a Muslim who comes to the door of a Muslim as a visitor, or for help when he is home, and is asked permission for a meeting but does not give permission, nor does he come out to see his visitor?’ The Imam said, ‘O abu Hamza, if a Muslim comes to a Muslim as a visitor, or for help and he is home, and is asked permission but he does not come out to meet him, he continues living in the condemnation of Allah until the two will meet.’ I (the narrator) then asked the Imam, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, will he live with the condemnation of Allah until the two will meet?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, O abu Hamza.’”

What are you asws saying regarding a Muslim who comes over to a Muslim to visit or seeking a need while he is in his house, so he seeks permission to him but he does not permit him, and does not come out to him’. He asws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! Whichever Muslim comes over to a Muslim to visit or seeking a need while he is in his house, so he seeks permission to him and he does not come out to him, he would not cease to be in the Curse of Allah azwj until they both do meet’.
