«2»- ير، بصائر الدرجات عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مِيرَاثِ الْعِلْمِ مَا بَلَغَ أَ جَوَامِعُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ أَمْ يُفَسِّرُ كُلَّ شَيْ ءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمُورِ الَّتِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيهَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الطَّلَاقِ وَ الْفَرَائِضِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً عليه السلام كَتَبَ الْعِلْمَ كُلَّهُ وَ الْفَرَائِضَ فَلَوْ ظَهَرَ أَمْرُنَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ شَيْ ءٍ إِلَّا وَ فِيهِ سُنَّةٌ يُمْضِيهَا.

Basa'ir al-Darajat: Muhammad b. Muslim says: I asked the Imam, peace be upon him, about the inheritance of knowledge: is it general principles from which you derive rulings, or is there a particular narration and text about matters such as divorce and inheritance which people discuss? He said: 'Ali, peace be upon him, wrote down all the sciences and the obligations; if the government were in our hands, the Sunna would answer everything, and our Qa'im will carry it out.

بيان: قوله ما بلغ بدل من ميراث العلم أي ما بلغ منه إليكم أ جوامع أي ضوابط كلية يستنبط منها خصوصيات الأحكام أو ورد في كل من تلك الخصوصيات نص مخصوص قوله عليه السلام يمضيها على الغيبة أي صاحب الأمر أو على التكلم.

Elucidation: "Ma balagha" in the hadith is in apposition to "the inheritance of knowledge" — that is, the inheritance of knowledge that has reached you. "A-jawami'?": that is, is the inheritance of knowledge general principles from which the particulars of the rulings are derived, or has a particular text come in each of those particular cases? "Yumdiha 'ala al-ghayba": no practice remains but that the Imam of the Age (may God hasten his relief) will carry it out or speak concerning it.

Basa'ir al-Darajat: Abu Usama says: I was with Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, and a man of the Mughiriyya group was also present and asked about certain practices. The Imam said: All the needs of the children of Adam have been set out in the practice of God and His Messenger; had it not been so, God would not have argued against us. Al-Mughiri says: I asked: What is God's argument? Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The words of God, exalted: "Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed My blessing upon you and have approved Islam as a religion for you. But whoever is driven by hunger, with no inclination to sin — then truly God is Forgiving, Merciful." Had the practice and the obligations of God and the matters people need not been complete, God would not have argued by this verse.

«4»- سن، المحاسن بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عليه السلام قَالَ: أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله بِمَا اكْتَفَوْا بِهِ فِي عَهْدِهِ وَ اسْتَغْنَوْا بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ.

Al-Mahasin: Muhammad b. Hakim relates from the seventh Imam, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, brought them that with which they were sufficed in his lifetime and by which they were made independent after him.

(١)1- هم اتباع المغيرة بن سعيد لعنه اللّٰه و لعنهم، أورده أصحابنا في تراجمهم و بالغوا في ذمه و لعنوه و تبرءوا منه. قال صاحب منتهى المقال: المغيرية اتباع المغيرة بن سعيد لعنه اللّٰه قالوا: ان اللّٰه جسم على صورة رجل من نور على راسه تاج من نور، و قلبه منبع الحكمة. و نقل عن الوحيد أنّه قال: و ربما يظهر من التراجم كونهم من الغلاة و بعضهم نسبوه اليهم. أقول: و أورد ترجمتهم البغداديّ في الفرق بين الفرق، و الشهرستاني في كتابه الملل و النحل، قال البغداديّ في ص 36: كان المغيرة بن سعيد العجليّ في صلاته في التشبيه يقول لاصحابه: ان المهدي المنتظر محمّد بن عبد اللّٰه بن الحسن بن الحسن بن عليّ، و يستدل على ذلك بان اسمه محمّد كاسم رسول اللّٰه صلّى اللّٰه عليه و آله و اسم أبيه عبد اللّٰه كاسم أبی رسول اللّٰه صلّى اللّٰه عليه و آله، و قال: في الحديث عن النبيّ صلوات اللّٰه عليه و آله قوله في المهدي: ان اسمه يوافق اسمی، و اسم أبيه اسم أبي. و أورد الشهرستاني ما قال في التشبيه في كتابهThey are the followers of al-Mughira b. Sa'id, may God curse him and them. Our companions have given his entry in their biographies and have gone to great lengths in censuring him, cursing him and disowning him. The author of Muntaha al-Maqal says: the Mughiriyya are the followers of al-Mughira b. Sa'id, may God curse him; they said that God is a body in the form of a man of light, on whose head is a crown of light, and whose heart is the source of wisdom. It is related from al-Wahid that he said: it may appear from the biographies that they are among the extremists, and some have ascribed him to them. I say: al-Baghdadi gives their entry in al-Farq bayn al-Firaq, and al-Shahrastani in his book al-Milal wa al-Nihal. Al-Baghdadi says on p. 36: al-Mughira b. Sa'id al-'Ijli, in his extremism in anthropomorphism, used to say to his companions: the awaited Mahdi is Muhammad b. 'Abd Allah b. al-Hasan b. al-Hasan b. 'Ali, and he argued for this by saying that his name is Muhammad, like the name of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, and his father's name is 'Abd Allah, like the name of the father of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family. And he said: in a hadith from the Prophet, may God's blessings be upon him and his family, concerning the Mahdi: his name agrees with my name, and his father's name with my father's name. And al-Shahrastani gives in his book what he said about anthropomorphism.
(٢)2- ياتي بقية المباحثة الواقعة بين أبي عبد اللّٰه عليه السلام و الرجل في الحديث 12The rest of the discussion that took place between Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, and the man comes in hadith 12.
