Hadith 59
۞
3. [3/56] al-Kafi: Ali from Muhammad b. Isa from Yunus from Qutayba who said
a man asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام about an issue and he answered him in it – so the man said: suppose if it were so and so – what would the answer be in it then? So he said to him: keep silent, whatever I have answered regarding it – then it is on the authority of the messenger of Allāh صلى الله عليه وآله, we have nothing to do with ‘suppose’ whatsoever.
[3/56] الكافي: علي، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس، عن قتيبة قال
سأل رجل أبا عبدالله عليه السلام عن مسألة فأجابه فيها، فقال الرجل: أرأيت إن كان كذا وكذا ما يكون القول فيها؟ فقال له: مه ما أجبتك فيه من شئ فهو عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لسنا من: ” أرأيت” في شئ
