It is narrated in Misbah al-Shariaa (The Lantern of the Path) that Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘
Fear [of Allah] is the legacy of knowledge, and knowledge is the ray of inner understanding and the heart of faith. So he who is devoid of fear cannot be knowledgeable, even if he is able to split hairs with obscure sciences. Allah, most High, has said, “Only those of Allah s servants having knowledge fear Him.”[ Misbah al-Shariaa, p. 365]
مصباح الشريعة ـ فيما نسبه إلى الإمامِ الصّادقِ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ: الخَشيَةُ مِيراثُ العِلمِ ، والعِلمُ شُعاعُ المَعرِفَةِ وقَلبُ الإيمانِ ، ومَن حُرِمَ الخَشيَةَ لا يَكونُ عالِماً وإن شَقَّ الشَّعرَ بِمُتَشابِهاتِ العِلمِ ، قالَ اللّهُ تَعالى: «إنَّما يَخْشَى اللّهَ مِن عِبادِهِ العُلَماءُ»
