عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: سَأَلَ إِنْسَانٌ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ رُبَّمَا دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهَذَا لَوْ صَلَّوْا عَلَى وَقْتٍ وَاحِدٍ لَعُرِفُوا فَأُخِذَ بِرِقَابِهِمْ.

Abu Khadija related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that a man came and asked him while I was present in that gathering, and said: Sometimes I would enter the mosque and some of our companions were praying the afternoon prayer and some of them the noon prayer. He said: I have commanded them to do this; if you were to pray at one and the same time you would be recognised and your necks struck.

Tahzib al-Ahkam: Zurara says: Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: What you heard from us that resembles the word of the Sunnis is by way of dissimulation. Whatever you heard from me that bears no resemblance to the word of the Sunnis, in that there is no dissimulation.

Tahzib al-Ahkam: Yahya b. Salim says: I asked Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, about what the Sunnis relate from the Commander of the Faithful concerning temporary marriage. He said: He neither commanded it nor forbade it, except to himself and his children. I said: How so? He said: One verse of the Qur'an made it lawful and another verse made it unlawful. I said: Has one verse abrogated the other, or are both verses firm, so that it is proper to act upon both? He said: He explained it for them, since he kept himself and his children from it. I said: What caused him not to explain it to the people? He said: He feared that the people would not obey. Had the rule of the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, remained firm, he would have established the Book of God entirely and the whole of the truth.

Kitab al-Masa'il: 'Ali b. Ja'far asked his brother Musa al-Kazim, peace be upon him, about the disagreement concerning the judgements of 'Ali, peace be upon him: concerning well-known things that he neither commanded nor forbade, except to himself and his children… to the end of the hadith.

Al-Ghayba of al-Shaykh al-Tusi: Al-Shaykh Abu al-Qasim al-Husayn b. Ruh, may God be pleased with him (one of the four envoys), was asked about the books of Ibn 'Azaqir (after he had been blamed and a rescript had come out cursing them): How are we to act upon their books
