55-Imam Takes His Knowledge From THE Prophet

55_ IMAM TAKES HIS KNOWLEDGE FROM THE PROPHET
According to the order of our prophet:_ `To observe QUR?N and HIS NEAREST KINS': and also to the innocency of the Imams, our jurisprudence of divine Law, is also based upon the words, deeds and consents; (doing something in front of them without having their objection) of the innocent Imams. The three factors, i.e. words, deeds, and consent of our Imams are accepted proofs for us. We have to note also that whatever an Imama says; it is a narration of the prophet through his fathers. This is to say what ever an Imam says it has been said by the prophet.

Imam BAGHER told one of his students named JAABIR:_ "That which we convey to you is what we have taken out of a treasure that belongs to our

prophet Mohammad."(1)

Through another tradition from Imam JAAFAR S?DIQ we read:_ "Some one asked him a question and the Imam answered him. The man began to dispute about the answer. Imam told him: `The answer I gave you was that of the prophet and you have no right to dispute."

Another remarkable point to note is about the important books on collected traditions such as; KAAFI _ TAHZIB ESTEBSAR_ and MAN LA YAHZAROHOL FAGHIH, that we have and we use. Although these books are much trusted in our sight, but still it dosn't mean to us that whatever is written in them is true and acceptable by us.

Besides the above mentioned tradition books we also have the books of WHO IS WHO About personalities, (ALREJAL=THE MEN) Through such books we investigate about the personalities of the narrators of the tradition and also about their chains of

documents and references so as to make sure if a tradition is true and correct. Therefore, however important and trustworthy a book might be, to accept a tradition from it has to convince us that it reads and is compatible with our standard, or else we shall reject it.

some Islamic sects have thier own collection of traditions (HADIS) which they know them to be correct. (SAHIH) The authors have named their book, `THE CORREC=SAHIH and some men of importance might have admitted that these are CORRECT, but in our sight, that tradition is correct which is reasonably proved to have been said by the prophet.
