Hadith 132

hose who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge’. If they say, ‘Who are the ones firmly rooted in the Knowledge? ’ Then say, ‘The ones in whose knowledge there is no differing’. If they say, ‘So who is that? ’ So, say, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was an owner of that. So did he-saww deliver or not? ’ If they say, ‘He-saww did deliver’, then say, ‘He-saww passed away and the Caliph from after him-saww had knowledge wherein there was no differing? ’
If they say, ‘No’, so say, ‘A Caliph of Rasool-Allah-saww is Assisted, and Rasool-Allah-saww would not leave behind anyone except the one who judged by his-saww judgment, and except one who would happen to be similar to him-saww except for the Prophet-hood, and if it was so that Rasool-Allah-azwj did not leave anyone behind regarding his-saww knowledge, so he-saww would have wasted the ones who are in the loins of the men, from the ones who would be coming (to the world) after him-saww’. If they say to you, ‘The knowledge of Rasool-Allah-saww was from the Quran’, so say, [44: 1] Ha Meem!

If they say, ‘From sky to the earth’, and the people of the earth are more needy of the creatures to that. Then say, ‘Is there a must for them to have a chief they would be going to for the judgments? ’ If they say, ‘So the Caliph, he is their judge’. Then say, ‘[2: 257] Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He Extracts them from the darkness into the Light – up to His-azwj Words in it they shall be abiding. By my-asws life! There is neither in the sky nor in the earth, a Guardian of Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, except that he-asws is Assisted, and the one who is Assisted would not err, and there is neither in the sky nor in the earth, an enemy of Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention except that he is Abandoned, and the one who is Abandoned would not be correct (in his judgments). Just as it is inevitable for there to be a Revelation which descends from the sky for the people of the earth to be judged with, like that, it is inevitable for there to be a Guardian-asws. If they say, ‘We do not recognise this’, say to them, ‘Say whatever you so like to. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Refused that after Muhammad-saww He
