[1/-] al-Faqih: Via his chain to Abdallah b. Sinan who said: I came to Aba Abdillah عليه السلا٠and said to him: may Allah make me your ransom, what is the meaning of the words of Allah Mighty and Majestic: “then they should remove their untidiness” (22:29), he said: trimming the mustache and cutting the nails, I said: may I be made your ransom, Dharih al-Muharibi narrated to me quoting you as saying: “then they should remove their untidiness” means ‘visit the Imam’ and “fulfill their vows” refers to ‘[perform] the pilgrimage rites’, he said: Dharih was right and you are too, verily for the Qur’an there is an exoteric and esoteric [layered meanings], and who can bear what is borne by Dharih?
