[1/-] al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from Uthman b. Isa and al-Hasan b. Mahbub all together from Samaâa from Abi Abdillah عÙÙ٠اÙسÙاÙ, he (Samaâa) said: I asked him about a man who is answered oppositely by two of his co-religionists (i.e. Shiâas) in regards to a matter â both transmitting it [their answers â on your authority], one of them obligates it while the other forbids it â what should he do?
he said: he withholds [doing anything] until he accesses one who will inform him (of the true position), and he is respited until such a time as he meets him. [And in another narration [the Imam said]: whichever of them you act by â suffices you â if done in subservience (with the intention of obeying)].
