الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
عِدَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَخَاهُ نَذْرٌ لَاكَفَّارَةَ لَهُ؛ فَمَنْ أَخْلَفَ فَبِخُلْفِ اللَّهِ بَدَأَ وَ لِمَقْتِهِ تَعَرَّضَ، وَ ذلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: «يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ ما لا تَفْعَلُونَ كَبُرَ مَقْتاً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَقُولُوا ما لا تَفْعَلُونَ».
The believer's promise made to his fellow brother is a vow for which no amends can be made if broken; so he who breaks a promise has first broken his promise to God and exposed himself to His hatred, as God says in the Quran: "O you who believe! Why do you say what you do not do? It is most hateful to God that you say what you do not do."

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
