[46] وقال المفضل قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام ان حديثنا صعب مستصعب ذكوان اجرد لا يحتمله ملك مقرب ولا نبى مرسل ولا عبد امتحن الله قلبه للايمان And Al-Mufazzal-said: Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘Our -asws Ahadeeth are difficult and become more difficult. (These are) intelligent, clear, neither can the Angel of Proximity bear them, nor can the Mursil Prophet -as , nor the Momin whose heart has been tested for the Eman.

اما الصعب فهو الذى لم يركب بعد واما المستصعب فهو الذى يهرب منه إذا راى واما الذكوان فهو ذكاء المؤمنين واما الاجرد فهو الذى لا يتعلق به شئ من بين يديه ولامن خلفه As for their being difficult, it is that he will not be able to ride them afterwards (act upon them). And as for them becoming more difficult, it is that he will reject some of them. And as for they being intelligent, it is the intelligence of the Momin.

And as for them being clear, it is that with which he attaches by it to something in front of him, and not from behind him. وهو قول الله الله نزل احسن الحديث فاحسن الحديث حديثنا لا يحتمله احد من الخلائق امره بكماله حتى يحده لانه من حد شيئا فهو اكبر منه والحمد لله على التوفيق والانكار هو الكفر And these are the Words of Allah -azwj : Allah has Revealed the best Hadeeth [39:23] . The best Hadeeth are our -asws Hadeeth – no one from the creation is able to bear them.

His -azwj Command was His -azwj Perfection until He -azwj Placed limits on them because the one who places limits on anything is greater than it, and Praise be to Allah -azwj for those who incline towards these, while the denial (of the Hadeeth) is a Kafir.’ [47] See Appendix II for Al-Abd Almuntahin. Appendix I: Imam Ali -asws is the distributor of the Paradise and the Fire.
