Hadith 1470

Hadith.3036 - In a narration from Abdullah ibn Sinan:
"I came to Abu Abdullah (as) and asked, 'May I be your ransom, what is the meaning of Allah’s (swt) saying: "Then let them complete their prescribed duties ('tafath')..."?' (Surah Al-Hajj 22:29)
Imam (as) replied: 'It refers to trimming the mustache, cutting the nails, and similar actions.'
I then said: 'May I be your ransom, but Zarih al-Muharibi narrated to me from you that you said
"Let them complete their prescribed duties ('tafath')" means meeting the Imam, and "fulfill their vows" refers to fulfilling the rituals.'
Imam (as) said: Zarih has spoken the truth, and so have you. Verily, the Qur'an has an apparent meaning and a hidden meaning. And not everyone can bear what Zarih can bear.'"
3036 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ « ثُمَّ لْيَقْضُوا تَفَثَهُمْ » قَالَ «أَخْذُ اَلشَّارِبِ وَ قَصُّ اَلْأَظْفَارِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنَّ ذَرِيحاً اَلْمُحَارِبِيَّ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ « «لْيَقْضُوا تَفَثَهُمْ» لِقَاءُ اَلْإِمَامِ «وَ لْيُوفُوا نُذُورَهُمْ» تِلْكَ اَلْمَنَاسِكُ» قَالَ «صَدَقَ ذَرِيحٌ وَ صَدَقْتَ إِنَّ لِلْقُرْآنِ ظَاهِراً وَ بَاطِناً وَ مَنْ يَحْتَمِلُ مَا يَحْتَمِلُ ذَرِيحٌ ».
