Any narration contrary to the Quran is false and must be rejected.

Any narration contrary to the Quran is false and must be rejected. [^134] The Imams of Ahlul-Bayt (a.s) have stated in many Ahadith that their words cannot possibly be contrary to the Quran.

The following are two examples of narrations that seem [^135] incompatible with the teachings of the Quran: 1/2: The almighty Allah concerning the prohibition of usury states in the Quran: "and if you do not stop it (usury) then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger, and if you repent then for you is (only) your capital (so that) you are not being unfair nor being unfair to anyone else." [2:279] According to the above Ayah the money lender does not deserve more than the actual money he has lent.

To receive more than his own money is called usury and unless he repents, Allah and His Messenger are in war against him. In spite of the above Ayah there are a number of narrations-some of which are narrated apparently by authentic narrators- teaching a trick to escape the usury. These narrations are known in jurisprudence as 'the narrations of tricks'!

The following is an example of these narrations: Kolayni and Sadooq in their authentic Esnad from Muhammad Ibn Ishaq Ibn Ammar asked Imam Kazem (a.s): يکون لي علي الرجل دراهم فيقول: اخّرني بها و انا اربحک فابيعه جبة تقوّم علي بالف درهم، بعشرة آلاف درهم، او قال: بعشرين الفا و اؤخره بالمال. قال (ع): لا بأس. "A man owes me some dollars. He asks me to delay his payment and in return he would pay my money back with interest.

I sell a Jubba (long dress) that is valued for me one thousand dollars, (I sell it) to him for ten thousand dollars or he even said: for twenty thousand dollars and then I allow him to delay his payment.

The Imam (a.s) said: 'It's alright'." [^136] 2/2: The Almighty Allah concerning the penalty of killing someone by mistake states: "And whoever kills a believer by mistake he should free a salve and submit a (certain) blood-money to the family of the deceased." [4:92] According to the above Ayah if a believer is killed by mistake, there is no death penalty for the killer. However, there is a group of narrations that apparently indicate the above rule does not apply to children and women!

Kolayni in his authentic Esnad through Abu-Baseer narrated from Imam Baqir (a.s): سئل عن غلام لم يدرک و امرأة قتلا رجلا خطأ؟ فقال (ع): انّ خطأ المرأة و الغلام عمد. فان احبّ اولياء المقتول ان يقتلوهما قتلوهما..
