الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْساً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ‏ أَوْ فَسادٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ‏ فَكَأَنَّما قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً وَ مَنْ أَحْياها فَكَأَنَّما أَحْيَا النَّاسَ‏ جَمِيعاً»؟ قَالَ‏: «مَنْ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ ضَلَالٍ‏ إِلى‏ هُدًى فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَاهَا، وَ مَنْ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ هُدًى إِلى‏ ضَلَالٍ فَقَدْ قَتَلَهَا».

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

I asked Imam al-Sadiq (as) about the words of God: "Whoever kills a person—unless it is for murder or corruption on earth—it is as if he has killed the whole of mankind; and whoever saves it, it is as if he has saved the whole of mankind." He replied: "One who brings a person out of error and into guidance it is as if he has saved his life, and one who brings a person out of guidance and into error it is as if he has killed him."

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.
