Lesson
 
Lessons from His Eminence on the fact that the Earth is not devoid of a man knowledgeable about the entire religion, whom Allah has appointed as a caliph, imam, and guide on it with His command.

Hadith No. 6

The earth is never devoid of a scholar who purifies religion for people.

رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ [ت329ه‍] فِي «الْإِمَامَةِ وَالتَّبْصِرَةِ»[1]، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَصَفْوَانِ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ كُلِّهِمْ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ -يَعْنِي جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقَ- عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، قَالَ:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَدَعِ الْأَرْضَ إِلَّا وَفِيهَا عَالِمٌ يَعْلَمُ الزِّيَادَةَ وَالنُّقْصَانَ، فَإِذَا زَادَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ رَدَّهُمْ وَإِنْ نَقَصُوا أَكْمَلَهُ لَهُمْ، فَقَالَ: خُذُوهُ كَامِلًا، وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ لَالْتَبَسَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمْرُهُمْ، وَلَمْ يُفَرَّقْ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ.

Translation:

Ali ibn Bābawayh [Died in 329 AH] has narrated in the book of “al-Imāmah wa al-Tabsirah”, from Sa’d, from Muhammad ibn Isā ibn Ubayd, from Muhammad ibn Sinān and Safwān ibn Yahyā and Abdullah ibn Mughirah and Ali ibn al-Nu’mān all of them, from Abdullah ibn Muskān, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah — meaning Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq — peace be upon him that said:

Indeed, God has not left the earth be unless there is a knowledgeable one therein who knows excess and defect, so that if the believers increased, he makes them return, and if they decreased, he completes for them, so he says: ‘Take it completely’, and if had not been like this, the affairs of the believers would have become doubtful for them, and the truth would have not been distinguished from falsehood.

Consideration

قَالَ الْمَنْصُورُ حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: كَذَلِكَ نَقُولُ لِلنَّاسِ: خُذُوا الدِّينَ كَامِلًا لَا نُقْصَانَ فِيهِ وَخَالِصًا لَا زِيَادَةَ مَعَهُ؛ فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ النَّارِ إِنِ ازْدَادَتْ حَرَّقَتِ الطَّعَامَ وَإِنْ نَقَصَتْ لَمْ تَطْبَخْهُ.

Translation:

Mansoor may God protect him, said: This is our speech that we say to people: Take the religion completely and purely, so that no defect be in it nor any excess with it, for its likeness is that of fire, if it increases it burns the food, and if it decreases it does not cook it.
