(5) حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن النضر بن سويد عن محمد بن عبد الرحمن عن شعيب الحداد عن ابى حمزة الثمالى عن ابى جعفر عليه السلام قال ان الارض لا تبقى الا وفيها منا من يعرف الحق فإذا زاد الناس قال قد زادوا وإذا نقصوا منه قال قد نقصوا ولولا ذلك كذلك لم يعرف الحق من الباطل.

5 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Shuayb Al-Hadaad, from Abu hamza Al-Thumaly, who has said: Abu Ja’far -asws has said: ‘The Earth does not remain except in it is one -asws from us -asws who recognises the truth. If the people have exceeded, he -asws says: ‘They have exceeded’, and if they are deficient, he -asws says: ‘They are deficient’.

Had it not been like that, similarly they would not have been able to distinguish the truth from the falsehood’. (6) حدثنا ابراهيم بن هاشم عن يحيى بن ابى عمران عن اسحق بن عمار عن محمد بن مسلم عن ابى جعفر عليه السلام قال ان الله لم يدع الارض الا وفيها عالم يعلم الزيادة والنقصان من دين الله فإذا زاد المؤمنون شيئا ردهم وإذا نقصوا شيئا اكمله لهم ولولا ذلك لالتبست على المؤمنين امورهم.

6 – It has been narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Haashim, from Yahya Bin Abu Umraan, from Is’haq Bin Amaar, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, who has said: Abu Ja’far -asws has said: ‘Allah -azwj does not Leave the earth except in it is a knowledgeable one -asws who knows the excesses and the deficiencies from the Religion of Allah -azwj .

If the believers have exceeded in something, he -asws removes it from them, and they are deficient in something, he -asws completes it for them, and had it not been for that, the affairs of the believers would become confusing for them’. (7) حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن على بن اسباط عن سليمان مولى طربال عن اسحق بن عمار قال سمعت ابا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول ان الارض لن تخلو الا وفيها عالم كلما زاد المؤمنون شيئا ردهم إلى الحق وان نقصوا شيئا اتمه لهم.

7 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Suleyman the slave of Tarbaal, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws say: ‘The Earth is never empty except in it is a knowledgeable one -asws . Whenever the believers exceed in something, he -asws pushes them back to the truth, and if they are deficient in something, he -asws completes if for them’.
