394. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from one of our companions who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) did not speak to the servants in accordance with his (saww) own reasoning and intellect, at all. The Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The group of Prophets (as), we (as) have been Commanded that we (as) should speak to the people in accordance with their intellects’.
