Against reliance on heresy

Pearl of Wisdom

Ali b. Suwayd narrates, 'I wrote a letter to Abu al-Hasan Musa b. Ja'far (AS), when he was in captivity, in which I inquired about his health and about many other issues. He held back the Imam Masa b. Ja'far al-Kazim (AS) reply from me for months, then he replied in a letter, the text of which is as follows: 'In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful ... Certainly you are a man who has been bestowed a special rank by Allah with the household of Muhammad and has guarded you among those who look after His religion ...'

Imam Musa ibn Jafar al-Kadhim [as]

Bihar al-Anwar, v. 78, p. 329, no. 7

Against reliance on heresy

Sermon 140 Against reliance on heresy

O' people! If a person knows his brother to be steadfast in faith and of correct ways he should not lend ear to what people may say about him. Sometimes the bowman shoots arrows but the arrow goes astray; similarly talk can be off the point. Its wrong perishes, while Allah is the Hearer and the Witness. There is nothing between truth and falsehood except four fingers.

Amir al-mu'minin was asked the meaning of this whereupon he closed his fingers together and put them between his ear and eye and said: It is falsehood when you say, "I have heard so," while it is truth when you say, "have seen."
