Al-Ghayba of al-Nu'mani: It is related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that he said: Whoever enters this religion by way of men, men will take him out of it just as he entered it; and whoever has entered this religion by way of the Qur'an and the Sunna, the mountains will be torn from their places before he is moved from his.

And whoever claims to hear God's ruling from a gate other than the one God has left open for His creatures is an idolater; and that gate is the trustworthy one entrusted with God's hidden secret.

الآيات؛

The verses

الأعراف: «وَ اتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْناهُ آياتِنا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْها فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطانُ فَكانَ مِنَ الْغاوِينَ وَ لَوْ شِئْنا لَرَفَعْناهُ بِها وَ لكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ اتَّبَعَ هَواهُ

al-A'raf: "And recite to them the tidings of him to whom We gave Our signs, but he sloughed them off; so Satan followed after him and he became one of the perverse. And had We willed, We would have raised him by them [those signs]; but he inclined to the earth [the world] and followed his own desire.
