'I came to Abu Ja'far [al-Baqir] (AS) and said to him, may I be your ransom! I am a man who wishes to go to Makkah but I have an overdue debt to a Murji'ite, so can you please advise me?' The Imam (AS) replied, 'Pay your debt and focus on meeting your Lord without any debt on your shoulders, for verily a believer does not betray [his trust].'
