Say: ‘Are they equal, those who do not know and those do know ?
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Abdul Momin Bin Al Qasim Al Ansary, from Sa’ad, from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws regarding the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: ‘Are they equal, those who do not know and those do know?’ But rather, the ones of the understanding will heed [39:9] . Abu Ja’far -asws said: ‘But rather we -asws are those who know, and those who do not know are our -asws enemies, and our Shias are the ones of understanding.
From him, from Ibn Fazal, from Ali Bin Aqaba Bin Khalid who said, ‘I and Moala Bin Khunays came to Abu Abdullah -asws , and he -asws wasn’t in his -asws seating place. Then he -asws came out to us from the side of his -asws women’s quarters, and there wasn’t a cloak upon him -asws . So when he -asws looked towards us, he -asws received us saying: ‘Welcome to you both and hello!’ Then he -asws sat down and said: ‘You (Shias) are the ones of understanding (Mentioned) in the Book of Allah -azwj .
Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Said: But rather, the ones of the understanding will heed [39:9] ’’. [15] So the ‘followers’ of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws , are referred to as those who listen carefully and follow the guidance. The Ambiguity: It is frequently advocated, by quoting the following Hadith, that the ‘Al-Ulema’ (the scholars) are the ‘Worasa’ (inheritors) of Prophet -as . This would only hold for the Divinely Educated Ones -asws , and certainly not for those who were educated in schools.
