Shirk in obedience

 It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from abu al-‘Abbas who has said the following: “Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) about the minimum degree of al-Shirk (paganism). The Imam said, ‘It is one’s inventing an opinion and thereafter loving and hating (people) on that basis.’”

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ibn Bukayr from Durays from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “About the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘Most of them do not believe in Allah; without associating others with Him’ (12:106) the Imam said, ‘Al-Shirk (paganism) is obedience and not in worship,’ and the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘ . . . certain people worship Allah to achieve worldly gains. . . .,’ (22:11) the Imam said, ‘A verse comes down about a man and then it applies to his followers.’ I then said, ‘Do those who appoint others (as people possessing Divine Authority) instead of you ( Ahl al-Bayt) worship for worldly gains?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, at certain cases it is just that ( al - Shirk ).’”

Yunus has narrated from Dawud ibn Farqad from Hassan al-Jammal from ‘Amirah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) saying, ‘People are commanded to know us ( Ahl al-Bayt ), and they are referred to us and to submit to us.’ The Imam then said, ‘If they fast, perform prayers, testify that there is no one who deserves to be worshipped except Allah but keep it in themselves and do not refer to us for guidance, for this they will be considered Mushrik, (considering things as partners of Allah).”’

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘. . . they (unconditionally) obeyed the rabbis and the monks. ... as they should have obeyed Allah. . . .’ (9:31) The Imam said, ‘By Allah, they (rabbis and monks) did not call the people to worship them. Had they done so people would not have listened to them. They, however, made certain things lawful and unlawful as they liked and people obeyed and worshipped them without realizing the evil in such worship.’”

Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from a man from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever obeys a man in a sin has worshipped him.’”

Al Khoei believed Ahlul Dhikr includes Mujtahids

Al Khoei said:

“And to this (Proofs for Taqleed of a Marja In Quran) belongs the testimony of God: “So ask the people of the reminder, if you do not know.” (21:7) Since it proves that asking is obligatory in ignorance, and since it is obvious that the purpose of asking is to ensure obedience, the meaning of the sacred verse is: “Ask the people of the exhortation, that you may heed the answer.”

📚At-Tanqih V1,P67

Muhammad ibn Yahya from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala‘ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who ha said that he said the who has said the following to abu Ja‘far ( a.s.). “These are people who think that the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. ‘Ask the people of Dhikr if you do not know,’ refers to the Jews and the Christians.” The Imam (a.s.) asked, “Do they call you to their religion?” He (Muhammad ibn Muslim) has said that the Imam (a.s.) said, with his hand (pointing) to his chest, ‘We are the People of Dhikr (reminders of Allah) and we are the ones who must be asked questions.’”

(9:122) For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.

 Imam Ridha(as) said: ,,Allah only ordered the Hajj so that they would all come as a group and seek their increase, and exit from all their errors committed by the servants.’Untill the Imam said:And let them be those who ponder and TRANSMIT AHADITH of the Imams(as) to every corner of the world, as Allah(swt) said:(9:122) For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.

Those who do Tafsir Bil Ray are The enemies of The 12th Imam(ajf)

Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa’eed bin Oqda narrated from Muhammad bin al-Mufadhdhal bin Ibraheem from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zurara from Muhammad bin Marwan that al-Fudhayl bin Yasar had said: I heard Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) saying: “When our Qa’im appears, he will receive harms from the ignorant people more and bitterer than that the Prophet (S) had received from the ignorant people of the pre-Islamic age.” I said: “How is that?” He said: “The Prophet (S) came to people while they used to worship sculptured stone and wood whereas when al-Qa’im comes to people, they will protest against him by interpreting the Book of Allah according to their fancies. By Allah, he (al-Qa’im) will insert his justice into their houses like the entering of hot and cold.”

Tafsir Bil Ray

Chapter On those who interpret The Quran according to their own opinion.

Zurara narrated from Imam Abu Jafar as Who said:Nothing is further from mans understanding than the interpretation of The Quran. The beginning of a verse may refer to one thing, its middle to another and its end to something else. Then he recited {God wishes to keep uncleanliness away from you, people of the household, and to purify you thoroughly} from the onset of paganism.

Abi Raja from Abi Ja’far (as) who said: say what you know and if you do not know then say: “Allāh is more knowing”, a man selectively picks out a verse from the Qur’an and falls in it (misinterpreting it) a farther distance than what is between the earth and the sky.
