But, he memorised he had heard upon its perspective, so he came with it upon what he had heard, and he did not increase in it and did not reduce from it, and he preserved the abrogating so he worked with it, and preserved the abrogated so he stayed away from it, and he recognised the special and the general, so he placed everything in its place, and he recognised the allegorical and the decisive.
وَ قَدْ يَكُونُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ الْكَلَامُ لَهُ وَجْهَانِ، فَكَلَامٌ خَاصٌّ وَ كَلَامٌ عَامٌّ، فَيَسْمَعُهُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ مَا عَنَى اللَّهُ بِهِ، وَ لَا مَا عَنَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ، فَيَحْمِلُهُ السَّامِعُ وَ يُوَجِّهُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَ لَا مَا قُصِدَ بِهِ وَ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ And the speech happened from Rasool-Allah -saww having two aspects for it.
There was a special talk and general talk. He heard it, one who did not know what Allah -azwj had Meant by it nor what Rasool-Allah -saww had meant by it. The listener carried it and diverted it upon being without understanding its meaning nor what had been aimed with it, and what reason it had come out for.
وَ لَيْسَ كُلُّ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَسْأَلُهُ وَ يَسْتَفْهِمُهُ، حَتَّى إِنْ كَانُوا لَيُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَوِ الطَّارِي فَيَسْأَلَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعُوا كَلَامَهُ وَ كَانَ لَا يَمُرُّ بِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ وَ حَفِظْتُهُ And it isn’t so that every companion of Rasool-Allah -saww had asked him -saww and understood it, to the extent that they used to love for the Bedouin to come and ask him -saww until they would hear his -saww speech, and nothing from that passed by me -asws except I -asws had asked about it and memorised it.
فَهَذِهِ وُجُوهُ مَا عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فِي اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَ عِلَلِهِمْ فِي رِوَايَاتِهِمْ Thus, these perspectives are what the people are upon in their differing(s) and their reasons in their reports’’.
[9] عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ: خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلَّتَانِ: اتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى، وَ طُولُ الْأَمَلِ.
