Hadith 727

n they say for something which Rasool-Allah-saww did, ‘Why did he-saww do such and such? ’ Or, ‘Why didn’t he-saww do such and such differently to which he-saww did? ’ They would become Polytheists due to that’. Then he-asws said: ‘If they were to worship Allah-azwj and profess His-azwj Oneness, then they say for a thing which Rasool-Allah-saww did, ‘Why did he-saww do such and such? ’ And they find that from themselves, they would become Polytheists due to that’. Then he-asws recited the Verse’’. [356]
And it is reported by a number of chains going up to Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘The submitters, they are the excellent ones’’. [357]
And from Sufyan Bin Al Simt who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A man comes from you-asws, being well known with the lies, and he narrates the Hadeeth, so we are afraid of it’. Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Is he saying to you, ‘I am saying for the night, that is daytime, or for the day, it is night? ’ He said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Even if he does say this to you, I-asws have said it, do not belie him, for you would rather be belying me-asws’’. [358]
And from Abu Baseer, ‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws), he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Do not belie a Hadeeth brought to you by a Murjiite, or a Qadiriite, or a Kharijiite, attributed to us-asws, for you would not be knowing, perhaps it is something from the Truth, and you would be belying Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic above His-azwj Throne’’. [359]
And by his handwriting as well, he said, ‘It is reported by Al Safwany in his book, with an unbroken chain, ‘From Al-Reza-asws: ‘The worship is upon seventy aspects, and sixty-nine of these are regarding the pleasure and the submission to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and to Masters of the Command, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws’’. [360]
‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Our-asws matter is difficult, becoming more difficult. None can bear it except a Momin who heart Allah-azwj Tested for the Eman, and our Hadeeth cannot be understood except by faithful chests, and reasonable minds’’. [361]
‘Muniyat Al Mureed’ –
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘One who repels a Hadeeth which has reached him from me-asws, then I-saww will be contending with him on the Day of Qiyamah. So, whenever a Hadeeth reaches you all from me-saww, you do not recognise it, then say, ‘Allah-azwj is more Knowing’’. [362]
And he-saww said: ‘One who belies upon me-saww deliberately, of something which has been referred to him he has been instructed with, then let him take a house in Hell’’. [363]
And he-saww said: ‘One to whom reaches a Hadeeth, so he belies it, then he has belied three – Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the one who narrated with it’’. [364]
