حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ
لَيْثٍ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ
عَلِيٌّ:
"الْفَقِيهُ حَقُّ الْفَقِيهِ الَّذِي لَا يُقَنِّطُ النَّاسَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ، وَلَا يُؤَمِّنُهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ، وَلَا يُرَخِّصُ لَهُمْ فِي مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ، إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي عِبَادَةٍ لَا عِلْمَ فِيهَا، وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي عِلْمٍ لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ، وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي قِرَاءَةٍ لَا تَدَبُّرَ فِيهَا".
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Truly, the real jurist is the one who does not make people despair of Allah’s mercy, nor does he make them feel secure from Allah’s punishment, nor does he permit them to disobey Allah. There is no good in worship in which there is no knowledge, and there is no good in knowledge in which there is no understanding, and there is no good in recitation in which there is no reflection.
