If we let this ‘pass’ unchecked, it will surely mislead our young ones as they listen and attend to these ‘reasoned’ speakers who have very powerful communication skills (fun-e-Khitabat) through years of experience of reciting to the public.
For example, false statements were even ascribed to some close companions of Masomeen -asws : عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَرَجِ الرُّخَّجِيِّ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَمَّا قَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ فِي الْجِسْمِ وَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ فِي الصُّورَةِ فَكَتَبَ دَعْ عَنْكَ حَيْرَةَ الْحَيْرَانِ وَ اسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لَيْسَ الْقَوْلُ مَا قَالَ الْهِشَامَانِ .
Ali Bin Muhammad, raising it, from Muhammad Bin Al Faraj Al Rukhajiyin who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan -asws asking him -asws about what Hisham Bin Al-Hakam [2] said regarding the body, and Hisham Bin Salim (said) regarding the Image. So he -asws wrote: ‘Leave from yourself the confusion of the confused ones and seek Refuge with Allah -azwj from the Satan -la . The words are not what the two Hishams have spoken’.
