[15] الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ...

He -asws said: ‘ Al-Zikr (The Reminder) is Muhammad -saww , and we -asws are his -saww people, the ones -asws to be asked’.

Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Hamza Bin Al Tayyar that, ‘He presented to Abu Abdullah -asws some of the sermons of his father, until when he reached a subject from it, he -asws said to him: ‘Stop, and be silent’.

Then Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘There is no leeway for you regarding what comes to you from what you do not know except to pause at that, and affirming, and referring it back to the Imams -asws of the Guidance, until they -asws deliver to you the purpose (of it), and they -asws isolate from you the blindness in (that where you are going), and they -asws make you recognise the truth in it. Allah -azwj the Exalted Said: therefore ask the people of the Reminder if you don’t know [16:43] ’.

[17] عنه، عن أبيه، عمن حدثه رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إنه لا يسعكم فيما ينزل بكم مما لا تعملون إلا الكف عنه والتثبت فيه والرد إلى أئمة المسلمين حتى يعرفوكم فيه الحق ويحملوكم فيه على القصد، قال الله عزوجل: ” فاسئلوا أهل الذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون “.
