Hadith 61

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – ‘From Al-Sumali, from Abu Al-Rabie – similar to it’’. [120]
(The books) ‘Rowzat Al Waizeen’ (and) ‘Al Irshad’ (and) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – It is reported that, ‘Nafie Bin Al-Azraq came to Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws. He sat in front of him-asws asking him-asws about issues of the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions. Abu Ja’far-asws said to him in the presentation of his-asws speech, ‘Say to this renegade, ‘Due to what are you permitting separation from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and you had shed your blood (before) in front of him-asws in his-asws obedience and drawing closer o Allah-azwj the Exalted by helping him-asws? ’
They will be saying to you that he-asws judged in the religion of Allah-azwj’. Say to them, ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted had got two men from His-azwj creatures to judge in the Law of His-azwj Prophet-saww. He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Name: then appoint a judge from his family and a judge from her family; if they both desire reconciliation, Allah will Harmonise between them; [4: 35]. And Rasool-Allah-saww got Sa’ad Bin Muaz to judge regarding the clan of Qureyza regarding what Allah-azwj the Exalted had Accomplished, or don’t you know that Amir Al-Momineen-asws, rather instructed the two judges that they judge by the Quran and not to transgress it, and he-asws stipulate the return of whatever from the judgments of the men opposed the Quran, and he-asws said when they had said to him-asws, ‘You-asws have judged against yourself-asws by the ones who judged against you-asws’, he-asws said: ‘I-asws did not get the judgment of creatures, and rather I-asws went for the judgment of the Book of Allah-azwj’. So, where do the renegades find the straying in one-asws who instructed with the judgment by the Quran and stipulated regarding of whatever opposed it? Had it not been for their perpetrating the accusations in their innovations’. Nafie Bin Al-Azraq said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This is a speech which has not passed by the ears at all, nor did it ever come to my mind, and it is the truth, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’. [121]
