Pearl of Wisdom

Some of our traditions are ambiguous like the ambiguous verses of the Qur'an, and some are clear like the clear verses of the Qur'an. Then refer its ambiguous ones to its clear ones, and do not follow its ambiguous ones [blindly] without referring to its clear ones lest you go astray.'

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha [as]

Uyun Akhbar al-Rida (AS), v. 1, p. 290, no. 39
