I asked Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) about the saying of Allah, “And when they commit an indecency they say: We found our fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say: Surely Allah does not enjoin indecency; do you say against Allah what you do not know?” and he said: “Have you seen anyone claiming that Allah has ordered him to commit adultery, to drink wine or to do any other sin?” I said: “No, I have not.” He said: “Then what is this indecency that they claim that Allah has ordered them to do?” I said: “Allah and His guardian are more aware!” He said: “This is among the followers of the imams of injustice and oppression. They claim that Allah has ordered them to follow some people, whom Allah has never ordered them to follow. So Allah has denied their saying and has informed them that they have fabricated lies; therefore He has called that as indecency.”
