contrary to narrations that are narrated from the guides of the past, because they are not able to identify and correct them. This is the reason why God has considered the warning of the Prophet exclusive to people of his time and said: ﴿لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ﴾[1]; “To warn those who are alive and to justify the word against disbelievers”; meaning that the duty of the warner is to warn those who are alive in his time, and it is not his duty to warn posterity; because in God’s way, posterity will have a living warner for themselves that warning them is his duty in order to warn them according to their needs in his time. It is hereby understood that if one knows a guide from the past but does not know the guide of his time, his beliefs and deeds based on Hadiths narrated to him from the past guide are not adequate; because there is no choice but to go to the guide of the time; considering that if there was a choice, appointing the guide of the time would not be necessary, while futile actions from God are impossible. Based on this, the lack of access to the guide of the time, if it has happened to Muslims, has inevitably been due to their fault for not knowing or protecting him, and therefore, it is not considered an excuse for them to act on conjectural narrations; because considering their action and fault, it is possible that achieving certainty by having access to the guide of their time is impossible for them, and at the same time acting on conjectural narrations is not permissible for them; considering that the existence of a solution in such a situation is not obligatory, and the predicament resulting from it is not attributed to God so that it would conflict with His mercy.

As a result, Hadith, in the sense of a wahid report, even if it is correct in the term, has no religious value, and, like opinion, it is not from the sources of Islam, and a belief or a deed that is based on it is nullified, and the basis of practicing the religion is directly referring to the Book of God and the living guide whom He has appointed for people; as He has said: ﴿فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنِّي هُدًى فَمَنْ تَبِعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ﴾[2]; “So whenever a guide comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guide, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they be saddened,” and said: ﴿فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ مِنِّي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَى﴾[3]; “So whenever a guide comes to you from Me, then whoever follows My guide, they shall neither go astray nor fall into misery,”
