Then they (the angels) will return his soul to his body and place his heart between two boards of fire and he will plead: ‘O Lord, please delay the coming of the Day of Judgement.’ From the above hadith, it is clear anyone who would select an imam for guidance or to take religion from anyone other than who has been appointed by Allah -azwj , will, surely, be treated as a ‘Kafir’.
[66] Islam was Completed with the Two Weighty Things: After returning from the last pilgrimage, Holy Prophet -saww announced the compulsory Wilayat of Ali -asws ibn Abi Talib -asws by declaring ‘Mankunto Mola ….’ And the following Verse came, which completed the religion, until the final Day of Judgement: On this day I have perfected your religion, completed My favours to you, and chosen Islam as your religion ….
‘ (5:3)’ Holy Prophet -saww Leaves Behind The Two Weighty Things: قول رسول الله ص إني تارك فيكم الثقلين كتاب الله و عترتي أهل بيتي The Holy Prophet -saww said: ‘I leave behind for you two weighty things, the Book of Allah -azwj and my Progeny of my Household -asws . [67] A non-masoom person can neither be an ‘Itirat’ nor can ever be from ‘Ahl al-Byat -asws ’, so upon the completion of Islam, which will, remain valid until the Final Day of Judgement, where is the role of a Mujtahid?
Chapter Three: The Rights of Allah -azwj over His -azwj Servants وعن الحسين بن محمد ، عن معلى بن محمد ، عن علي ابن أسباط ، عن جعفر بن سماعة ، عن غير واحد ، (عن أبان ) ، عن زرارة ابن أعين ، قال : سألت أبا جعفر ( عليه السلام ) : ما حق الله على العباد ؟ قال : أن يقولوا ما يعلمون ، ويقفوا عند ما لا يعلمون .
And from Al Husayn Bin Muhammad from Ma’aly Bin Muhammad from Ali Ibn Asbaat from Ja’far Bin Sama’at from another person (from Aban) from Zarara Ibn Ayn who said: ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws – What is the right of Allah -azwj over His -azwj servants?’ He -asws said: ‘They should say what they know, and refrain from saying what they do not know’.
[68] وعن علي بن إبراهيم ، عن أبيه ، عن ابن أبي عمير ، عن هشام بن سالم قال : قلت لأبي عبدالله ( عليه السلام) : ما حق الله على خلقه ؟ قال : أن يقولوا ما يعلمون ، ويكفوا عما لا يعلمون ، فاذا فعلوا ذلك فقد أدوا إلى الله حقه .
