«16»- يب، تهذيب الأحكام بِسَنَدِهِ الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عليه السلام اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُنَا فِي رِوَايَاتِهِمْ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام فِي رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَرَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ أَنْ صَلِّهِمَا فِي الْمَحْمِلِ وَ رَوَی بَعْضُهُمْ لَا تُصَلِّهِمَا إِلَّا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَأَعْلِمْنِي كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ أَنْتَ لِأَقْتَدِيَ بِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ فَوَقَّعَ عليه السلام مُوَسَّعٌ عَلَيْكَ بِأَيَّةٍ عَمِلْتَ.

Tahzib al-Ahkam: 'Ali b. Mahziyar said: In the book of 'Abdallah b. Muhammad there was [a question] and I asked al-Imam 'Ali al-Naqi, peace be upon him: Our companions differ in their narration from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, concerning the two units of the supererogatory dawn prayer while travelling. Some of the companions have related that these two units are to be prayed in the litter, and some of the companions have related that these two units are not to be prayed except on the ground. So inform me what you do, that I may follow you in the supererogatory prayer of dawn. He wrote: There is latitude for you, whichever of the two you act upon.

«17»- أَقُولُ رَوَى الشَّيْخُ قُطْبُ الدِّينِ الرَّاوَنْدِيُّ فِي رِسَالَةِ الْفُقَهَاءِ عَلَى مَا نَقَلَ عَنْهُ بَعْضُ الثِّقَاتِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ السَّرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام إِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَدِيثَانِ مُخْتَلِفَانِ فَخُذُوا بِمَا خَالَفَ الْقَوْمَ.

I say: Al-Shaykh Qutb al-Din al-Rawandi in Risalat al-Fuqaha, according to what some trustworthy persons have related from him, related by his chain from al-Saduq, from Ibn al-Walid, from al-Saffar, from Ibn 'Isa, from a man, from Yunus b. 'Abd al-Rahman, from al-Hasan b. al-Sari, that Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: When two differing hadiths come to you, take the hadith that differs from the Sunnis.

«18»- وَ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِيِّ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ عليه السلام هَلْ يَسَعُنَا فِيمَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْنَا مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا التَّسْلِيمُ لَكُمْ فَقَالَ عليه السلام لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَسَعُكُمْ إِلَّا التَّسْلِيمُ لَنَا قُلْتُ فَيُرْوَى عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام شَيْ ءٌ وَ يُرْوَى عَنْهُ خِلَافُهُ فَبِأَيِّهِمَا نَأْخُذُ قَالَ خُذْ بِمَا خَالَفَ الْقَوْمَ وَ مَا وَافَقَ الْقَوْمَ فَاجْتَنِبْهُ.

Al-Hasan b. Jahm says: I said to the righteous servant, al-Imam Musa al-Kazim, peace be upon him: Is anything permissible for us concerning what comes to us from you other than submission to your word? He said: No, nothing is permissible but submission to our word. By God, there is no leave for you but submission to us and to our word. I said: But something is related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, and the contrary of that very thing is also related from him! Which, then, are we to take? He said: Take the report that differs from the Sunnis, and keep away from the report that accords with the Sunnis.

«19»- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا عليه السلام كَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ بِالْخَبَرَيْنِ الْمُخْتَلِفَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَدِيثَانِ مُخْتَلِفَانِ فَانْظُرُوا مَا يُخَالِفُ مِنْهُمَا الْعَامَّةَ فَخُذُوهُ وَ انْظُرُوا مَا يُوَافِقُ أَخْبَارَهُمْ فَدَعُوهُ.

The narrator says: I said to al-Imam al-Rida, peace be upon him: When two conflicting reports have issued from you, what is the duty of us Shi'a? He said: When two differing hadiths come to you, look at the two reports and take the report that differs from the Sunnis, and the report that accords with the reports of the Sunnis — leave it.

«20»- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: إِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَدِيثَانِ مُخْتَلِفَانِ فَاعْرِضُوهُمَا عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَمَا وَافَقَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَخُذُوهُ وَ مَا خَالَفَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَذَرُوهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوهُمَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَاعْرِضُوهُمَا عَلَى أَخْبَارِ الْعَامَّةِ فَمَا وَافَقَ أَخْبَارَهُمْ فَذَرُوهُ وَ مَا خَالَفَ أَخْبَارَهُمْ فَخُذُوهُ.

Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him: When two differing hadiths come to you, present that hadith to the Book of God; take the hadith that accords with the Book of God and leave what differs from the Book of God. If you do not find these two differing reports in the Book of God, then present them to the reports of the Sunnis; leave the report that accords with the reports of the Sunnis and take what differs from the reports of the Sunnis.

عد، العقائد اعتقادنا في الحديث المفسر أنه يحكم على المجمل كما قال الصادق عليه السلام.

Al-'Aqa'id of al-Saduq: Our belief concerning an explanatory hadith is that it governs the undetermined, as Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said.
