4539.الإمامُ الصادقُ عليه السلام : العامِلُ عَلى‏ غَيرِ بَصيرَةٍ كَالسّائرِ عَلى‏ غَيرِ الطَّريقِ ، ولا يَزيدُهُ سُرعَةُ السَّيرِ مِنَ الطَّريقِ إلّا بُعداً .⁵

4539.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘He who acts without any insight is as the one who travels off the path, whom walking faster only avails to take him further away from the path.’⁶
