And from Ali Bin Ibrahim from Muhammad Bin Isa from Yunus...

And from Ali Bin Ibrahim from Muhammad Bin Isa from Yunus from Jameel who has narrated the following from Abu Abd Allah -asws : ‘People are of three types – scholar, student, and rubbish. We -asws are the scholars, and our -asws Shiites are the students, and the rest of the people are worthless’.

[78] One is Unable to Extract Knowledge through Ijtihad: وعن الحسين بن محمد ، عن معلى بن محمد عن الوشاء ، عن أبان بن عثمان ، عن عبدالله بن سليمان ، قال : سمعت أبا جعفر ( عليه السلام ) ، وعنده رجل من أهل البصرة ، وهو يقول : إن الحسن البصري يزعم أن الذين يكتمون العلم تؤذي ريح بطونهم أهل النار ، فقال أبو جعفر ( عليه السلام ) : فهلك إذا مؤمن آل فرعون ، مازال العلم مكتوما منذ بعث الله نوحا ، فليذهب الحسن يمينا وشمالاً ، فوالله ما يوجد العلم إلا ههنا And from Al Husayn Bin Muhammad from Moali Bin Muhammad from Al Wahaa from Aban Bin Uthman from Abd Allah Bin Suleyman, said that he heard the following from Abu Ja’far -asws , and with Abu Jafar -asws was a man of Basra, and he was saying, ‘Hassan Al-Basry thinks that the one who conceals knowledge, will give off a pungent smell which will afflict the people of the Fire’.

Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘Then the believers from the people of the Pharaoh have been destroyed. Knowledge has remained concealed since Allah -azwj sent Noah -as as a Prophet. Al-Hassan can go to the right and to the left, by Allah -azwj ! He will not find knowledge except for here’ (pointing to himself -asws ).

[79] Knowledge only Emanates from the Masomeen -asws : وعن أبي عبدالله الأشعري ، رفعه عن هشام بن الحكم ، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر ( عليه السلام ) ـ في حديث طويل ـ قال : لا نجاة إلا بالطاعة ، والطاعة بالعلم ، والعلم بالتعلم ، والتعلم بالعقل يعتقد ، ولاعلم إلا من عالم رباني .

And from Abu Abd Allah Al Ashary, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam who has narrated the following from Abu Al-Hassan Musa Bin Ja’far -asws in a lengthy Hadith: Imam Musa -asws Ibn Jafar -asws said: ‘There is no salvation except with obedience, and the obedience with knowledge, and the knowledge by studying it, and studying it by intellect accompanied by the belief, and there is no knowledge except from the knowledgeable one -asws (sent down) from Allah -azwj ’.
