Individual Ethics » Virtues » God-wariness » Refraining from Obscure Matters
الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):
إنّما الاُمورُ ثلاثةٌ : أمرٌ بَيِّنٌ رُشدُهُ فَيُتَّبَعُ ، و أمرٌ بَيِّنٌ غَيُّهُ فَيُجتَنَبُ ، و أمرٌ مُشكِلٌ يُرَدُّ عِلمُهُ إلى اللّهِ و إلى رسولِهِ ، قالَ رسولُ اللّهِ صلى الله عليه و آله : حَلالٌ بَيِّنٌ ، و حَرامٌ بَيِّنٌ ، و شُبُهاتٌ بَينَ ذلكَ ، فَمَن تَرَكَ الشُّبُهاتِ نَجا مِنَ المُحَرَّماتِ ، و مَن أخَذَ بِالشُّبُهاتِ ارتَكَبَ المُحَرَّماتِ و هَلَكَ مِن حيثُ لا يَعلَمُ .

Verily matters are of three types: a matter whose rectitude is evident and thus must be acted upon, a matter whose error is evident and thus must be avoided, and an obscure matter whose knowledge is referred to Allah and His messenger (s). The Prophet (s) said, The lawful is evidently clear, and the unlawful is evidently clear, and obscurities fall between these two. He who abandons obscure matters is saved from the prohibited things, whereas one who delves into obscurities ends up committing prohibited acts and perishes whence he knows not.

Abū Jaʿfar, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb b. Isḥāq al-Kulaynī Al-Rāzī (Arabic: ابوجعفر، محمّد بن یعقوب بن اسحاق الرازی) (c. 255/868-9 - 329/941) was among the greatest Shi'a hadith scholars and the author of al-Kafi, the most authentic Shi'a hadith collection and one the Four Books. He was born after the martyrdom of Imam al-'Askari (a), at the time of Imam al-Mahdi (a) and met some hadith transmitters who directly had heard hadiths from Imam al-Hadi (a) and Imam al-'Askari (a). It is said that al-Kulayni was very accurate in transmitting hadiths. Ibn Qulawayh, Muhammad b. Ali Majilawayh al-Qummi, Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Zurari were among his students.
