الجاثية: «وَ ما لَهُمْ بِذلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ»(23)

"And they have no knowledge of this; they do but follow [the way of] conjecture."

الأحقاف: «أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَراهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَيْتُهُ فَلا تَمْلِكُونَ لِي مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً»(7)

al-Ahqaf: "Or do they say: He has invented it? Say: If I have invented it, you have no power to avail me anything against God. He knows best what you plunge into [with your taunts]. He suffices as a witness between me and you, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful."

الصف: «وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ الْكَذِبَ وَ هُوَ يُدْعي إِلَى الْإِسْلامِ»(6)

al-Saff: "And who is a greater wrongdoer than one who invents falsehood against God while he is being called to Islam? And God does not guide the wrongdoing people."

الحاقة: «وَ لَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنا بَعْضَ الْأَقاوِيلِ لَأَخَذْنا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ فَما مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حاجِزِينَ»(44 ،45 ،46 ،47)

al-Haqqa: "And had he invented against Us some sayings," "We would have seized him by the right hand," "then We would have cut his life-vein," "and none of you could have withheld [the punishment] from him."

الجن: «وَ أَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً»(4)

al-Jinn: "And we had supposed that men and jinn would never speak a lie against God."

«1»- كِتَابُ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ مَوْلًى لِعَبِيدَةَ السَّلْمَانِيِّ قَالَ: خَطَبَنَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام عَلَى مِنْبَرٍ لَهُ مِنْ لَبِنٍ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ لَا تُفْتُوا النَّاسَ بِمَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله قَالَ قَوْلًا آلَ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ قَالَ قَوْلًا وُضِعَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَوْضِعِهِ وَ كُذِبَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عَلْقَمَةُ وَ عَبِيدَةُ السَّلْمَانِيُّ فَقَالا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَا نَصْنَعُ بِمَا قَدْ خُبِّرْنَا فِي هَذَا الصُّحُفِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله قَالَ سَلَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلَمَاءَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله كَأَنَّهُ يَعْنِي نَفْسَهُ.

Kitab 'Asim b. Humayd: 'Abida al-Salmani says: The Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, delivered a sermon to us from a pulpit of brick. After praising and glorifying God he said: O people, be God-fearing, and do not give people rulings on what you do not know! The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, has hadiths which have reached others, and sayings that have not been put in their proper place, and lies have been told about him. 'Alqama and 'Abida al-Salmani rose from the gathering and said: O Commander of the Faithful, what shall we do with the hadiths that have reached us in these books from the Prophet's companions? He said: Ask the scholars of the family of Muhammad, may God bless him and his family, about this — as though he meant himself.

«2»- لي، الأمالي للصدوق ابْنُ مَسْرُورٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مُعَلًّى عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرَ عليه السلام مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا مَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ يَقِفُوا عِنْدَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.

Amali of al-Saduq: Zurara b. A'yan says: I asked Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him: What right has God over His servants? He said: That they say what they know and hold back in what they do not know.

«3»- لي، الأمالي للصدوق أَبِي عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقِ عليه السلام قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَيَّرَ عِبَادَهُ بِآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ أَنْ لَا يَقُولُوا حَتَّى يَعْلَمُوا وَ لَا يَرُدُّوا مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ لَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِيثاقُ الْكِتابِ أَنْ لا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَ قَالَ بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِما لَمْ يُحِيطُوا بِعِلْمِهِ وَ لَمَّا يَأْتِهِمْ تَأْوِيلُهُ

Amali of al-Saduq: Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: Truly God, blessed and exalted, has reproached His servants in two verses of the Qur'an, so that they should say nothing when they do not know, and should not deny what they do not know. God has said: "Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they should say nothing but the truth concerning God, while they have studied what is in it?" And He said: "Rather, they belied what they could not encompass in knowledge, and whose interpretation had not yet come to them."
