وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُحِلُّ الْحَلَالَ وَ يُحَرِّمُ...

وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُحِلُّ الْحَلَالَ وَ يُحَرِّمُ الْحَرَامَ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةِ النَّبِيِّ ص لَمْ يُحِلَّ لِلَّهِ حَلَالًا وَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ لَهُ حَرَاماً وَ إِنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى وَ زَكَّى وَ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ وَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَنِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ طَاعَتَهُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ And one who claims that he is permitting the Permissible(s) and prohibiting the Prohibitions without recognition of the Prophet -saww , did not permit any Permissible for the Sake of Allah -azwj , and did not prohibit a Prohibition for Him -azwj , and even if one prays Salat, and gives Zakat, and performs Hajj and Umrah, and does all of it without recognition of the one whom Allah -azwj has Obligated obedience to him -asws , so he did not do anything from that.

لَمْ يُصَلِّ وَ لَمْ يَصُمْ وَ لَمْ يُزَكِّ وَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ وَ لَمْ يَعْتَمِرْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَ لَمْ يَتَطَهَّرْ وَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ لِلَّهِ حَرَاماً وَ لَمْ يُحِلَّ لِلَّهِ حَلَالًا لَيْسَ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ وَ إِنْ رَكَعَ وَ إِنْ سَجَدَ وَ لَا لَهُ زَكَاةٌ وَ لَا حَجٌّ He did not pray Salat, and did not Fast, and did not perform Hajj, and did not perform Umrah, and did not wash from the sexual impurity, and did not cleanse, and did not prohibit a Prohibition for the Sake of Allah -azwj , and did not permit a Permissible for the Sake of Allah -azwj , there isn’t for him any Salat, and even if performed Ruku’u and Sajdah, nor is there any Zakat for him, nor a Hajj.

وَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ يَكُونُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ رَجُلٍ مَنَّ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَ بِالْأَخْذِ عَنْهُ فَمَنْ عَرَفَهُ وَ أَخَذَ عَنْهُ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ أَنَّمَا هِيَ الْمَعْرِفَةُ وَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا عَرَفَ اكْتَفَى بِغَيْرِ طَاعَةٍ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ وَ أَشْرَكَ And rather that, all of it happens to be with recognition of a man Allah -azwj , Majestic and Mighty Conferred upon His -azwj creature with obedience to him -asws , and Commanded with the taking from him -asws .

So, the one who recognises him -asws , and takes from him -asws , obeys Allah -azwj , and the one who claims that, rather that is the recognition, and what he recognises sufficiency without obedience, so he has lied and associated. وَ إِنَّمَا قِيلَ اعْرِفْ وَ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْكَ ذَلِكَ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ فَإِذَا عَرَفْتَ فَاعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ فَإِنَّهُ مَقْبُولٌ مِنْكَ‏.
