hadith 804

Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)

“Whenever you hear a tradition which contains contradictions, it is not what I have said, even if they claim I have said it. And if you hear a tradition that is not contradictory by itself, it is from me. Whoever sees me dead is similar to one who sees me when I am alive. I am a witness for whoever comes to visit my tomb, and I shall be his witness in the Hereafter.”

قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): إني سمعت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يقول: إذا أتاكم الحديث متجاوبا متفاوتا فما يكذب بعضه بعضا فليس مني ولم أقله وإن قيل " قد قاله "، وإذا أتاكم الحديث يصدق بعضه بعضا فهو مني وأنا قلته، ومن رآني ميتا كمن رآني حيا، ومن زارني فكنت له شاهدا وشهيدا يوم القيامة.

hadith 805

Imam Sadiq (a.s) told Muhammad ibn Muslim: “O' Muhammad! Act according to any traditions that are brought to you if they agree with the Quran irrespective of whether an honest man or a wicked man brings it. On the other hand, do not act according to any traditions brought to you that disagree with the Quran.”

عنه (عليه السلام) قال

لمحمد بن مسلم: يا محمد، ما جاءتك من رواية من بر أو فاجر توافق القرآن فخذ بها، وما جاءتك من رواية من بر أو فاجر تخالف القرآن فلا تأخذ بها.
