Abu Abdullah -asws said: \u2018What is the matter you are not speaking?

Abu Abdullah -asws said: \u2018What is the matter you are not speaking?\u2019 He said, \u2018If I were to say we are not differing, I would be lying, and if I were to say that the Book and the Sunnah have both raised the differing, I would be invalidated, because they both carry the (various) aspects, and if I say we have differed and each one of us is claiming the truth, then we are not benefitting with the Book and the Sunnah, but there is for me upon it the like of that (Divine Authority)\u2019 (an extract, see the Hadith in Appendix III).
