MuÊ¿jam al-AḥādÄ«th al-MuÊ¿tabara - The Book of Divine Unity Chapter: Prohibition against Speculating and Speaking about God’s Nature د بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي ع٠ران، عن أبي عبيدة الحذاء قال: قال أبوجعفر عليه السلاÙ: يا زياد إياك والخصو٠ات فإنها تورث الشك وتهبط الع٠ل وتردي صاحبها وعسى أن يتكل٠بالشئ فلا يغفر له إنه كان في٠ا وكلوا به وطلبوا عل٠ا كفوه حتى انتهى كلا٠إلى الله فتحيروا حتى ان كان الرجل ليدعي ٠ن بين يديه فيجيب Ù 2.

[2/372] al-Kafi: A number of our companions from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid from his father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Muhammad b. Humran from Abi Ubayda al-Hadhdha who said: Abu Ja’far عليه السلا٠said: O Ziyad - beware of argumentation because it creates doubt, nullifies deeds and degrades its initiator, and it may happen that a man speaks something for which he is never forgiven.

There was in days gone by a people who abandoned studying what they were entrusted and sought the knowledge of what they were asked to refrain from, until their talks turned to Allah and they became confused, so much so that a man would be called from in front of him but he would answer the one who is behind him and he would be called from behind and would answer the one in front. عتبر - Shaykh Asif al-Mohseni (Muʿjam al-Aḥādīth al-Muʿtabara)
