Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Prohibition of Recording the Hadith, Causes and Effects First Introduction: The Rise Of Ijtihad A deep look into the history of Islam takes to the conclusion that the Sahabah in the age of the Divine Mission and legislation can be classified into two groups in the capacity of their conducts towards the Holy Prophet’s words and instructions.

The representatives of the fist group entered upon the ultimate compliance with all the rulings issued by Almighty Allah and the Holy Prophet. This situation was based upon a number of considerations such as (1) the sacredness of such rulings, for they are issued by Almighty Allah, the one and only God, (2) the obligation of the compliance with the Holy Legislator and the impermissibility of breaking His laws as is deduced from Almighty Allah’s sayings “O ye who believe!

Obey Allah and His messenger, and turn not away from him when ye hear (him speak), (Holy Qur’an: 8:20)” “He who obeyeth Allah and His messenger, and feareth Allah, and keepeth duty (unto Him): such indeed are the victorious, (Holy Qur’an: 24:52)” “And whatsoever the messenger giveth you, take it.

And whatsoever he forbiddeth, abstain (from it), (Holy Qur’an: 59:7)” “But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission, (Holy Qur’an: 4:65)” “The saying of (all true) believers when they appeal unto Allah and His messenger to judge between them is only that they say: We hear and we obey.

And such are the successful, (Holy Qur’an: 24:51)” “And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His messenger have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest, (Holy Qur’an: 33:36)” and similar verses, and (3) the fact that personal opinions in the fields of systemizing the social and individual conducts are worthless so long as there is a perfect legislation and flawless elucidation of all the laws comprised by the Holy Qur'an.

In other words, since there is an all-inclusive and unqualified legislation, it is meaningless to adopt anything claimed to make up for such unblemished code of law.
