Against reliance on heresy

Pearl of Wisdom

in a letter that he wrote to Sa'd al-Khayr, said, 'Allah guards a servant as a result of his Godwariness when his intellect is distant from him [cannot grasp it], and He illuminates him from blindness and ignorance as a result of his Godwariness. Noah and those with him were saved in the ark and Salih. and those with him were saved from the thunderbolt, because of Godwariness. The patient ones are victorious and those groups are saved from destruction through Godwariness.'

Imam Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir [as]

al-Kafi, v. 8, p. 52, no. 16

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."
