333. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from one of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Al-Haysam, from Zayd Abu Al-Hassan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘The one for whom the facts are established will never stand upon lifeless doubts. He will not stop until he comes to know the ultimate goal, and seeks the (explanation for) the newly emerging issues from the one who speaks from the inheritors (asws), and for which thing you are ignorant of, what you have denied, and by which thing you have come to recognise what you have visualised, if you are Believers’.

334. From him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahmaan with an unbroken chain, said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘There is nothing from the falsehood which can stand up to the truth, but the truth will overcome the falsehood, and this is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic; “[21:18] Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes”.

335. From him, from his father, said: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Do not take anyone other than Allah (azwj) as a confidant or else you will not remain a ‘Momin’ (Believer), for every reason, and lineage, and relationships, and confidants, and innovations, and doubts will be cut off. These will disappear like the dust which is upon a solid rock which disappears when abundant rain falls on it, except for what has been established by the Quran’.

336. Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammaad, from Ibn Muskaan, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘We (asws) are the origin of every good, and from our (asws) branches is every righteousness, So, from the righteousness is ‘التَّوْحِيدُ’ Oneness (Al-Tauheed), and the Prayer, and the Fasts, and suppression of the anger, and the pardoning others, and being merciful to the poor, and being helpful to the neighbour, and accepting the preference of the deserving ones. And our (asws) enemies are the origin of every evil, and from their branches is every ugliness and immorality. So, from these is the lie, and the niggardliness, and the slander, and the cutting-off (relationships), and consumption of the interest, and consumption of the wealth of the orphans without right, and infringement of the limits of the Commands of Allah (azwj), commission of the immoral acts, the apparent from it as well as the hidden, and the adultery, and the theft, and every that which is consistent with that from the ugliness. So he has lied, the one who thinks he is with us (asws) whilst he attaches himself to the branches of others (which are) rather than ours (asws)’.
