And from Ali Bin Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abu Umeyr...
And from Ali Bin Ibrahim from his father from Ibn Abu Umeyr from Hisham Bin Saalim who said: ‘I said to Abu Abd Allah -asws – What is the right of Allah -azwj over His -azwj creation?’ He -asws said: ‘They should say what they know and refrain from saying what they do not know, for if they were to do that, then they have given to Allah -azwj His -azwj Right’.
[69] The One who acts without Knowledge (gives Fatwa?): وعن عدة من أصحابنا ، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد ، عن أبيه ، عن محمد بن سنان ، عن طلحة بن زيد ، قال : سمعت أبا عبدالله ( عليه السلام ) يقول : العامل على غير بصيرة كالسائر على غير الطريق ، لا يزيده سرعة السير إلا بعدا .
And from a number of our companions from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid from his father from Muhammad Bin Sinan from Talha Bin Zayd who said: ‘I hear Abu Abd Allah -asws say: ‘One who acts without knowledge is like a traveller on the wrong road. It will not increase anything for him except for the distance (away from the Just)’.
[70] One Must Act with Knowledge: وعن علي بن محمد وغيره ، عن سهل بن زياد ، وعن محمد بن يحيى عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى جميعا ، عن ابن محبوب ، عن هشام بن سالم ، عن أبي حمزة ، عن أبي إسحاق السبيعي ، عمن حدثه قال : سمعت أمير المؤمنين ( عليه السلام ) يقول : أيها الناس ! اعلموا أن كمال الدين طلب العلم ، والعمل به ، ألا وإن طلب العلم أوجب عليكم من طلب المال ، إن المال مقسوم مضمون لكم ، قد قسمه عادل بينكم وضمنه ، وسيفي لكم ، والعلم مخزون عند أهله ، وقد امرتم بطلبه من أهله فاطلبوه .
And from Ali Bin Muhammad and others, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and from Muhammad Bin Yahya from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa altogether, from Ibn Mahboub from Hisham Bin Saalim from Abu Hamza from Abu Is’haq Al-Sabiy who narrated the following: He heard Amir-ul-Momineen -asws say: ‘O people! Know that religion becomes complete through seeking knowledge and acting accordingly. You must know that seeking knowledge is of a stronger imperative nature for you than seeking wealth.
In wealth everyone’s share is guaranteed. As, the Just One -azwj has already Divided wealth among you. He -azwj Himself and through my sword will guarantee that you receive your share. Knowledge, however, is stored with those -asws who possess it. You are commanded to seek knowledge from them -asws . You must seek the knowledge.
[71] Acting without Knowledge is Destruction: وعن محمد بن يحيى ، عن أحمد بن محمد ، عن ابن فضال ، عمن رواه ، عن أبي عبدالله (عليه السلام ) ، قال : قال رسول الله ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) : من عمل على غير علم كان ما يفسد أكثر مما يصلح .
