Le sens de ce qui a été rapporté concernant Abu Ja'far al-Baqir, que la paix soit sur eux deux, est qu'il a dit : « Si tu sais, alors agis comme bon te semble ».

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.
