Allama Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi 2 309

عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام يَا زُرَارَةُ إِيَّاكَ وَ أَصْحَابَ الْقِيَاسِ فِي الدِّينِ فَإِنَّهُمْ تَرَكُوا عِلْمَ مَا وُكِّلُوا بِهِ ١ وَ تَكَلَّفُوا مَا قَدْ كُفُوهُ يَتَأَوَّلُونَ الْأَخْبَارَ وَ يَكْذِبُونَ عَلَی اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَأَنِّي بِالرَّجُلِ مِنْهُمْ يُنَادَى مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ قَدْ تَاهُوا وَ تَحَيَّرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ الدِّينِ.

Zurara says: Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, said to me: Keep away from the people of analogy in religion, for they have abandoned the knowledge of what was committed to them and have put themselves to trouble over what was withheld from them. They interpret the hadiths and ascribe lies to God, Mighty and Majestic, as though someone were calling out to them from ahead; they have become bewildered and lost in the earth and in God's religion.

Majalis al-Mufid: Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: May God curse the people of analogy, for they have altered the word of God and of God's Messenger and have accused the truthful in God's religion.

«71»- جا، المجالس للمفيد أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ أَبِي يَحْيَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام يَقُولُ صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله الْمِنْبَرَ فَتَغَيَّرَتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ وَ الْتُمِعَ لَوْنُهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَ السَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَمَّ السَّبَّاحَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْهَدْىِ هَدْىُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ خَيْرَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَ شَرَّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا أَلَا وَ كُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ ضَلَالَةٌ أَلَا وَ كُلُّ ضَلَالَةٍ فَفِي النَّارِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِأَهْلِهِ وَ لِوَرَثَتِهِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ كَلًّا أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَعَلَيَّ وَ إِلَیَّ ٣.

Majalis al-Mufid: Mansur b. Abi Yahya says: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, mounted the pulpit, and with the colour gone from his face he turned to the people and said: O Muslims, my mission and the Hour are joined like these two fingers of mine — and he placed his two index fingers side by side. Then he said: O Muslims, truly the best way is the way of Muhammad, and the best speech is the Book of God, and the worst of matters are new and newly invented matters. Know that every innovation is misguidance, and the place of every misguidance is in the Fire. O people, whoever leaves property behind him, it is for his family and his heirs; and whoever leaves behind dependents and those he supported, their care is upon me.

Rijal al-Kashshi: Dawud b. Sartan says: I heard Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, say: I relate a hadith to a person and forbid him disputation and obstinacy in God's religion and forbid him analogy; and when he leaves my presence he interprets my hadith in an unsound way. I commanded one group to speak and forbade another group to speak, but each interprets it to his own advantage; these disobey God and the Messenger. If they would listen and obey, I would entrust to them a trust that my father entrusted to his companions; for my father's companions were our adornment in life and in death.

(١)1- لعل المراد أنهم تركوا علم ما يجب معرفته أي معرفة الامام و من يجب الرجوع إليه في أمر الدين و تكلفوا ما قد بينوه الأئمّة و من عندهم علم الكتابPerhaps what is meant is that they abandoned the knowledge of what it is obligatory to know — that is, knowledge of the Imam and of him to whom one must refer in the matter of religion — and put themselves to trouble over what the Imams have already explained and the knowledge of whose Book is with them.
(٢)2- لانهم لم يقبلوا من الصادقين ما يروی عن رسول اللّٰه صلّى اللّٰه عليه و آله. و يلجئون إلی القياس و الرأي زعما عدم ورود النصّ منه صلّى اللّٰه عليه و آلهBecause they did not accept from the truthful ones, peace be upon them, what is related from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family, and took refuge in analogy and opinion, supposing that no text had come from him, may God bless him and his family.
(٣)3- تقدم الحديث مع شرح ألفاظه في باب البدعة و السنةThis hadith, with an explanation of its words, came earlier in the chapter on innovation and practice.
