HADITH OF THE DAY

He who is greedy is disgraced; he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated; he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort: Imam Ali (as) - Nahjul Balaghah

Al-Hassan bin Ali bin Fazal heard from Asim bin Hameed, who from Mohammed bin Muslim, who narrates from Imam Abu Jafarsws that Amir-ul-Momaneensws said in a sermon: O People! Anarchy evolves from following desires and inducing innovation in (Divine) Commands. These are against the Book of Allahswt. It starts when men emulate men [when men do man’s Taqleed], even though it is against the Religion of Allahswt. If ‘Unjust’ had been presented in its pure form (without ambiguity), those who dislike it would stay away from it. And if ‘Just’ had been offered in its original form, without blending it with ‘Unjust’, those who bear hatred towards it would have been silenced. However, What happens in practice, something is taken from here and something from there and their mixture is put forward! At this stage, Satanla overpowers his friends and only those mange to escape from it who have previously been blessed with virtues by Allahswt.

In the eyes of God Almighty the TWO worst enemies are:

1)    The one who has been left aside by God Almighty thus he/she is the misguided one and has become addicted to his own innovation and analogy and gets captivated by prayers and fasting. Thus such a person is a recipe of disaster for the followers who have accepted such a person’s guidance. This person will remain a reason for misguidance even after his/her death and will bear the burden of sins committed by his followers and is a prisoner of his own deeds.

2)    The second is the judge or priest who is drowned in his own illiteracy but allures others to follow him and helps spreading misguidance. The layman considers him a scholar/priest even though not a single day of his life is without doubts on the orders of God. One of the signs of illiteracy of such a person is that he has collected things whose little is better than its excess very quickly and in quantity. So much so that he is drowned in his self created dirty waters and when he considers himself totally inside it he declares himself as a judge and claims to be a guide who eliminates doubts if he negates the addicts past by a previous judge he remains unthreatened that his successor would negate his addicts in a similar way. If a difficult issue is presented to him for solution he goes against the norms and reality and completes his judgement with an irrelevant argument and orders concealment of his doubts which is like a spiders web he does not know if his analogy is correct neither does he know if it is incorrect it is beyond him that the truth is in what he is trying to negate he does not know that if he would’ve two similar things and analogised one on the other he would not consider it wrong or he would not doubt It if truth becomes evident or unknown becomes known to him e.g. if he cannot find proof of his analogy in it he tries to conceal it with his so called knowledge in order to hide it from the layman so that they cannot comprehend that he does not know thus he dares to issue an addict and becomes a key to blindness and becomes a creator of doubts in his illiteracy. If he does not know something he refuses to accept his lack of knowledge which can save him from the wrong path. He does not seek knowledge with full concentration which can guide him to the right path and breaks up the holy traditions like thunder breaks up a pile of hay.

Because of his analogical addicts the true knowledge cries and blood of the oppressed shouts. his addicts turns haram into halal and halal into haram the orders that he has passed his knowledge is not capable of that and he does not know the true knowledge to the extent that he claims to know he is surely not capable of the true knowledge.
