(3) حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار عن عبد الله بن الحجال عن ثعلبة عن اسحق بن عمار قال قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام ان الارض لا تخلو من ان يكون فيها من يعلم الزيادة و النقصان فإذا جاء المسلمون بزيادة طرحها وإذا جاؤا بالنقصان اكمله لهم ولولا ذلك لاختلط على المسلمين امرهم.

3 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abdullah Bin Al-Hajaal, from Tha’albat, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said: ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘The Earth is not empty of the one who knows where is the increase and the decrease. If the Muslims came with excess, he -asws subtracts it, and if they come with deficiency, he -asws completes if for them, and had it not been for that, the affairs of the Muslims would become confusing for them’.

(4) حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار عن البرقى عن فضاله عن شعيب عن ابى حمزة قال قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام لن تبقى الارض الا وفيها رجل منا يعرف الحق فإذا زاد الناس فيه قال قد زادوا وإذا نقصوا منه قال قد نقصوا وإذا جاؤا به صدقهم ولو لم يكن كذلك لم يعرف الحق من الباطل.

4 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al-barqy, from Fazaala, from Shuaib, from Abu Hamza who said: ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘The Earth does not remain except in it is a man -asws from us -asws who recognises the truth.

If the people exceed in something, he -asws says: ‘They have exceeded’, and if they are deficient in it, he -asws says: ‘They are deficient’, and if they come by it, he -asws ratifies them, and had it not been like that, the truth would not be distinguishable from the falsehood’.

(5) حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن النضر بن سويد عن محمد بن عبد الرحمن عن شعيب الحداد عن ابى حمزة الثمالى عن ابى جعفر عليه السلام قال ان الارض لا تبقى الا وفيها منا من يعرف الحق فإذا زاد الناس قال قد زادوا وإذا نقصوا منه قال قد نقصوا ولولا ذلك كذلك لم يعرف الحق من الباطل.

5 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Shuayb Al-Hadaad, from Abu hamza Al-Thumaly, who has said: Abu Ja’far -asws has said: ‘The Earth does not remain except in it is one -asws from us -asws who recognises the truth. If the people have exceeded, he -asws says: ‘They have exceeded’, and if they are deficient, he -asws says: ‘They are deficient’.

Had it not been like that, similarly they would not have been able to distinguish the truth from the falsehood’.
