Hadith 30

‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – From what was answered with by Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Askari-asws in his-asws message to the people of Al-Ahwaz when they asked him-asws about the Compulsion and the Delegation, that he-asws said: ‘The whole community is united, and there is no differing between them regarding that, that the Quran is True, there is no doubt in it, in the entirety of its sects. Thus they, in their state of the unity upon it, are correct, and upon the ratification of what Allah-azwj Revealed, they are being guided to the words of the Prophet-saww: ‘My-saww community would not be united upon a straying’. The Prophet-saww informed that whatever the community is united upon, and some of them do not oppose the others, it is the Truth. This is the meaning of the Hadeeth, not what the ignoramuses are explaining it as, nor what the obstinate ones are saying, ones who are invalidating the Judgment of the Book, and following the decisions of the falsified Ahadeeth, and the decorated reports, and pursuing the deadly destroying heretics who oppose the attributes of the Book and investigation of the clear radiant Verses, and we-asws ask Allah-azwj to Harmonise us-asws to the correctness, and Guide us to the rightfulness’. Then he-asws said: ‘When the Book Testifies with a verification of a Hadeeth, and you investigate it, and a group from the community denies it, and objects to it by a hadeeth from these false ahadeeth, then they would, due to their denial and their repelling the Book, become Kafirs, straying ones. And the correct Hadeeth is what its investigation is known from the Book like the Hadeeth from Rasool-Allah-saww united upon, where he-saww said: ‘I-asws leave behind to Caliphs among you all, the Book of Allah-azwj and my-saww family-asws. Whoever attaches with these two will never go astray after me-saww, and these two will never separate until they return to me-asws at the Fountain’. And another word about it in this meaning exactly are his-saww words: ‘I-saww am leaving behind among you all, the two weighty things, the Book of Allah-azwj and my-saww family, the People-asws of my-saww Household, and these two will never separate until they return to me-saww at the Fountain. As for you all, if you were to attach with these two, you will never go astray’. When we find the authentication of this Hadeeth, a link in the Book of Allah-azwj, for example His-azwj Words: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5: 55], then it coincides with the reports of the scholar regarding that for Amir Al-Momineen-asws, that it was him-asws that he-asws gave in charity with his-asws ring while he-asws was in Ruku, so that is the Thanks of Allah-azwj to him-asws, and the Verse was Revealed regarding him-asws. Then we find Raso
