hadith 688

Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted on the authority of the Prophet of God (a.s)

“One who does things without knowledge will make more corruption than improvement.”

عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): من عمل على غير علم كان ما يفسد أكثر مما يصلح.

hadith 696

In Rauzat al-Vaezeen it is narrated that Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said

“Two kinds of people hurt me in this world: corrupt men who speak eloquently, and ignorant worshippers. People from the first group use nice words to cover up their wicked acts, and the second group hide their ignorance with their worshipping. Avoid sinful scientists and ignorant worshippers, since they will fool those who are attracted to them. I heard the Prophet (a.s) say: O' Ali! The destruction of my nation is through the hands of eloquent hypocrites.”

ومن كتاب روضة الواعظين: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): قصم ظهري رجلان من الدنيا: رجل عليم اللسان فاسق، ورجل جاهل القلب ناسك، هذا يصد بلسانه عن فسقه، وهذا ينسكه عن جهله، فاتقوا الفاسق من العلماء والجاهل من المتعبدين، أولئك فتنة كل مفتون، فأني سمعت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) يقول: يا علي هلاك أمتي على يدي كل منافق عليم اللسان.

hadith 730

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Do not trust your arms with a wicked man since he will corrupt you.”

قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال

لا تعط سلاحك الفاجر فيضلك.
