Saying
 

1 . أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْهَرَوِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ الْهَاشِمِيَّ الْخُرَاسَانِيَّ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ[1]، فَقَالَ: أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ بِإِطَاعَةِ كِتَابِهِ، وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ بِإِطَاعَةِ سُنَّتِهِ، قُلْتُ: أَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يُطِيعُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَلَا يُطِيعُ سُنَّةَ الرَّسُولِ؟ قَالَ: لَا وَاللَّهِ، لَا يُطِيعُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يُطِيعَ سُنَّةَ الرَّسُولِ، وَإِنْ جُدِعَ أَنْفُهُ!

Translation of the saying:

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Harawi informed us, he said: I ask Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani about this word of God Almighty that says: “Obey God and obey the Prophet”, he said: Obey God by obeying His Book and obey the Prophet by obeying his Sunnah, I said: How is the one who obeys the Book of God but does not obey the Sunnah of the Prophet? He said: No, I swear to God, he does not obey the Book of God until he obeys the Sunnah of the Prophet, although his nose is cut off!

2 . أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ[2]، فَقَالَ: هُمَا الْقُرْآنُ وَالسُّنَّةُ، وَإِنَّ السُّنَّةَ نَزَلَتْ كَمَا نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ!

Translation of the saying:

Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Balkhi informed us, he said: I ask Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani about this word of God Almighty that says: “And God sent down the Book and wisdom to you”, he said: They are Quran and the Sunnah, and indeed, the Sunnah was sent down as Quran was sent down!

3 . أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ دَاوُودَ الْفَيْض‌آبَادِيُّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِالْكِتَابِ وَبِمَا أَرْسَلْنَا بِهِ رُسُلَنَا ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ[3]، مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ رُسُلَهُ بَعْدَ الْكِتَابِ؟! قَالَ: هُوَ الْحِكْمَةُ الَّتِي آتَاهُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لَهَا «السُّنَّةَ»! أَمَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ[4]؟! ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ بِالْكِتَابِ.

Translation of the saying:

Ali ibn Dawud al-Fayzabadi informed us, he said: I asked Mansoor about this word of God Almighty that says: “Those who denied the Book and that which We sent Our Prophets with, will soon know”, What is that which God sent His Prophets with after the Book?! He said: It is the wisdom He gave them and you call it “Sunnah”! Have you not heard the word of God Almighty that says: “And He teaches them the Book and wisdom”?! Then he said: Whoever denies the wisdom has denied the Book.

4 . أَخْبَرَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْخُجَنْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ يَقُولُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ: لَا أُلْفِيَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ يَأْتِيهِ أَمْرٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ نَهْيٌ فَيَقُولُ: مَا هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ! أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ آتَى رَسُولَهُ الْحِكْمَةَ كَمَا آتَاهُ الْكِتَابَ، فَآمِنُوا بِالْحِكْمَةِ كَمَا آمَنْتُمْ بِالْكِتَابِ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَا تَوَاتَرَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهُوَ حِكْمَةٌ، وَمَا تَوَحَّدَ عَنْهُ فَقَوْلٌ مِنَ الْأَقْوَالِ.

Translation of the saying:

Hashim ibn Ubayd al-Khujandi informed us, he said: I heard Mansoor say to his helpers: I shall not find any of you lying in his bed, so a command or prohibition from the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family, reaches him, so he says: This is not in the Book of God! Be aware that God gave wisdom to His Prophet as He gave him the Book! So believe in the wisdom as you believe in the Book! Then he said: Anything that has reached tawatur from the Prophet of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family, is wisdom, and anything that has come from him (by Wahid) news, is a speech of speeches.

5 . أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ فِي رَسُولِهِ رُوحًا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ يُسَدِّدُهُ وَيَفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ﴿مَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا[5]، فَمَنْ أَتَاهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الرَّسُولِ فَأَيْقَنَهُ فَلْيُطِعْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ.

Translation of the saying:

Abu Ibrahim al-Samarqandi informed us, he said: I heard Mansoor say: Indeed, God placed in His Prophet a spirit from Himself that leads him and delivers to him, then He said: “Take whatever the Prophet gave you and abandon whatever he forbade you from”, so whoever to whom came something from the Prophet and he became certain of it, obeys it; because that is what God has sent down.

6 . أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْجُوزَجَانِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ يَقُولُ لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الطَّالَقَانِيِّ: يَا أَحْمَدُ! إِذَا حَدَّثْتَ الرَّجُلَ بِسُنَّةٍ مُتَوَاتِرَةٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَكَ: دَعْنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ وَآتِنَا آيَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ أَبَدًا!

Translation of the saying:

Isa ibn Abd al-Hamid al-Juzajani informed us, he said: I heard his Honor Mansoor say to Ahmad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Taloqani: O Ahmad! Whenever you inform someone about the mutawatir Sunnah of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him and his family, and he says, ‘Leave me alone and bring me a verse from the Quran’, know that he is a hypocrite who will never return toward good!

7 . أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْقَيُّومِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ الْمَنْصُورَ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُودًا[6]، قَالَ: إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَإِلَى سُنَّةِ الرَّسُولِ، رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سُنَّةِ الرَّسُولِ صُدُودًا، يَقُولُونَ: حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ!

Translation of the saying:

Abd al-Salam ibn Abd al-Qayyum informed us, he said: I asked Mansoor about the words of God Almighty that has said: “And if they are told to come toward that which God sent down and toward the Prophet, you see hypocrites deterring from you strongly”, so he said: When they are told to come toward the Book of God and the Sunnah of the Prophet, you will see hypocrites deterring from the Sunnah of the Prophet strongly, saying: The Book of God is sufficient for us!

8 . أَخْبَرَنَا ذَاكِرُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْمَنْصُورِ: جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: مَا بَالُ صَاحِبِكُمْ يَدْعُو إِلَى رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ اسْمُهُ؟! فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ: كَذَبَ النَّوْكَى! أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ: ﴿أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ[7] وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمْ: اثْنَيْنِ وَلَا أَرْبَعًا وَلَا ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى بَيَّنَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ: ﴿وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ[8] وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمْ: فِي مِائَتَيْنِ خَمْسَةُ دَرَاهِمَ حَتَّى بَيَّنَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ: ﴿وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ[9] وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمْ: بِالْبَيْتِ سَبْعًا وَبِالصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ سَبْعًا حَتَّى بَيَّنَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُهُ؟! فَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ لَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ: ﴿وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دِينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْنًا[10] وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمْ: بِإِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ فَاطِمَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَهْدِيُّ حَتَّى بَيَّنَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُهُ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ فَقَدْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَمَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ حَقًّا، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْفُرُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَيَقُولُونَ نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذُوا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ سَبِيلًا ۝ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ حَقًّا ۚ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُهِينًا[11]! قُلْتُ: وَمَا يُرِيدُونَ بِقَوْلِهِمْ: ﴿نُؤْمِنُ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَكْفُرُ بِبَعْضٍ؟! قَالَ: يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا جَاءَهُمْ عَنِ اللَّهِ وَيَكْفُرُونَ بِمَا جَاءَهُمْ عَنْ رُسُلِهِ!

Translation of the saying:

Zakir ibn Ma’roof al-Khorasani informed us, he said: I said to Mansoor: May I be sacrificed for you, they say: What is wrong with your master who invites toward a man whose name is not mentioned in the Book of God?! So he became angry and said: The fools lied! Did they not know that God said to them in His Book: “Perform the prayer”, and did not say: two or four or three (rak’ats), until His Prophet explained to them, and said to them in His Book: “And pay Zakat”, and did not say: in two hundred (dirhams) five dirhams, until His Prophet explained to them, and said to them in His Book: “And pilgrimage to this House is an obligation by God upon people”, and did not say: around the House seven times and in between Safa and Marwa seven times, until His Prophet explained to them?! So in this way He said to them in His Book: “God has promised those of you who believed and did righteous deeds that He will surely appoint them as Caliphs on the earth, as He appointed some people before them as Caliphs, and will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them, and will surely give them security after their fear”, and did not say: with a just Imam from the children of Fatima who is called Mahdi, until His Prophet explained to them! Then he said: Whoever thinks that with the Book of God he is not in need of the Sunnah of His Prophet, he has indeed made division between God and His Prophet, and whoever makes division between God and His Prophet is indeed a disbeliever, and this is the words of God Almighty that has said: “Indeed, those who disbelieve in God and His Prophets and want to make division between God and His Prophets and say, we believe in one and disbelieve in the other, and want to take a course between the two; they are indeed disbelievers, and We have prepared for disbelievers a humiliating punishment”! I said: What do they mean by the words “we believe in one and disbelieve in the other”?! He said: They believe in what has come to them from God, and disbelieve in what has come to them from His Prophets!

Explanation of the saying:

May God protect this great divine guide for Muslims that in this way teaches them the pure and complete Islam free from any excess and shortcoming, and without any claim and expectation, makes the clear springs of wisdom pour among them, so that the grounds for fulfilling the promise of God and the emergence of His Caliph on earth will be provided, although the hypocrites do not believe. Those who are punctilious and know the speeches should think on these pure wisdoms, may it be that they benefit from them and realize that in this time of frustration and wonder, what a great blessing God has bestowed on them and what a great guide He has given them, and praise be to God the Lord of the worlds.
