Hadith 88
۞
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus ibn ’Abd al-Rahman from abu Ja’far al-Awwal that Abu ‘Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) said, “
People can do nothing until they ask, acquire a proper understanding of religion, know their Imam and follow what he says, even if he said it under taqqiyah."
4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الاحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
لا يَسَعُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَسْأَلُوا وَيَتَفَقَّهُوا وَيَعْرِفُوا إِمَامَهُمْ وَيَسَعُهُمْ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِمَا يَقُولُ وَإِنْ كَانَ تَقِيَّةً.
