A number of our companions...

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khallad, from Al Hassan Bin Al Washha, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Ziyad Bin Abu Raja’a, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far – asws having said: ‘As for what you know, so you can talk about it, but what you do not know, so you should be saying, ‘Allah – azwj is more Knowing’. The man clinches to a Verse from the Quran, and falls in it (to a distance) further than what is between the sky and the earth’.

Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Rabie Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah – asws having said: ‘(It is) for the scholar, when he is asked about something and he does not know it, that he should be saying, ‘Allah – azwj is more Knowing’, and it is not for other than a scholar that he should be saying that’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah – asws having said: ‘When the man from you is asked about what he does not know, so let him say, ‘I don’t know’, and he should not say, ‘Allah – azwj is more Knowing’, for there would occur a doubt in the heart of his companion. And when the questioned one says, ‘I don’t know’, so the questioner cannot accuse him’.
