أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبَانَ ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ الْقُمِّيِّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ عَبَّادٍ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ :" إِنَّ الْفَقِيهَ حَقَّ الْفَقِيهِ، مَنْ لَمْ يُقَنِّطْ النَّاسَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ، وَلَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لَهُمْ فِي مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ، وَلَمْ يُؤَمِّنْهُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ، وَلَمْ يَدَعْ الْقُرْآنَ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ، إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي عِبَادَةٍ لَا عِلْمَ فِيهَا، وَلَا عِلْمٍ لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ، وَلَا قِرَاءَةٍ لَا تَدَبُّرَ فِيهَا "

Ismail bin Aban told us, on the authority of Yaqoub al-Qummi, he said: Laith bin Abi Sulaym told me, on the authority of Yahya, he is Ibn Abbad, on the authority of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, said: “The jurist is the true jurist, he who does not make people despair of God’s mercy, does not give them permission to disobey God, and does not He secures them from the punishment of God, and the Qur’an does not leave any desire for anything other than that. Indeed, there is no good in worship in which there is no knowledge, and in knowledge in which there is no understanding. There is no reading without contemplating it.”
