Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “There are two types of traditions. Some traditions are related to the obligatory. Practicing them leads to guidance and abandoning them leads to deviation. Some other traditions are not obligatory. It is better to practice them, but it is not a sin to abandon them.”
عنه (عليه السلام): قال
أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): السنة سنتان: سنة في فريضة الأخذ بها هدى وتركها ضلالة، وسنة في غير فريضة الأخذ بها فضيلة وتركها غير خطيئة.
