1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from his father, from Ali bin Nu’man, from Fudail bin Uthman, that he said
Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, was asked and it was said to him: Indeed, these wicked ones narrate of your father and say: Indeed, your father, peace be upon him, said: «If you know, then do as you wish» and hence, after that they declare as allowable every forbidden thing. He said: What is it with them, may Allah curse them? My father, peace be upon him, only said: If you know the truth, then do what you wish of goodness; it will be accepted from you.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن أبيه، عن علي بن النعمان، عن فضيل بن عثمان، قال
سئل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام فقيل له: إن هؤلاء الأخابث يروون عن أبيك يقولون: أن أباك عليه السلام قال: " إذا عرفت فاعمل ما شئت " فهم يستحلون بعد ذلك كل محرم قال: ما لهم لعنهم الله؟! إنما قال أبي عليه السلام: إذا عرفت الحق فاعمل ما شئت من خير يقبل منك.
