1871 - النَّهيُ عَن تَجاوُزِ مَواضعِ التَّقِيَّةِ

1871. PROHIBITION OF SURPASSING THE SITUATIONS [CALLING] FOR DISSIMULATION

6693.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : سَتُدعَونَ إلى‏ سَبِّي فسُبُّوني ، وتُدعَون إلَى البَراءَةِ مِنّي فمُدُّوا الرِّقابَ ؛ فإنّي علَى الفِطرَةِ .¹

6693.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'You will be called to insult me so do so. You will be called to disassociate yourselves from me, so extend your necks [for sacrifice], for I am according to my natural disposition [of Islam and monotheism].' ²

6694.إسحاق بن عمّار الصيرفي: دَخَلتُ عَلى‏ أبي عَبدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام وكُنتُ تَرَكتُ التّسليمَ عَلى‏ أصحابِنا في مَسجِدِ الكوفَةِ؛ وذلِكَ لِتَقِيَّةٍ عَلَينا فيها شَديدَةٍ، فَقالَ لي أبو عَبدِاللَّهِ عليه السلام: يا إسحاقَ، مَتى‏ أحدَثتَ هذَا الجَفاءَ لِإِخوانِكَ تَمُرُّ بِهِم فَلا تُسَلِّمُ عَلَيهِم؟! فَقُلتُ لَهُ: ذلِكَ لِتَقِيَّةٍ كُنتُ فيها. فَقالَ : لَيسَ عَلَيكَ فِي التَّقِيَّةِ تَركُ السَّلامِ، وإنَّما عَلَيكَ فِي التَّقِيَّةِ الإِذاعَةُ .³

6694. Ishaq ibn Ammar al-Sairafi said, "I visited Abu Abdullah [al-Sadiq] (AS) whilst I had not greeted our companions in the mosque of Kufa out of extreme dissimilation (taqiyah) we were observing, so Abu Abdullah said to me: "O Ishaq, when did you become harsh to your brothers, you go past them and you do not greet them?!" So, I said: "It was because of dissimilation I was observing." He (AS) said: "In dissimilation you do not refrain from greeting, but in dissimilation it is that you do not reveal yourself." ⁴

6695.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : لِلتَّقيَّةِ مَواضِعُ ، مَن أزالَها عَن مَواضِعِها لَم تَستَقِمْ لَهُ، وتَفسيرُ ما يُتَّقى‏ مِثلُ (أنْ يَكونَ) قَومُ سَوءٍ ظاهِرُ حُكمِهِم وفِعلِهِم على‏ غَيرِ حُكمِ الحَقِّ وفِعلِهِ ، فكُلُّ شي‏ءٍ يَعمَلُ المؤمنُ بَينَهُم لِمَكانِ التّقيَّةِ مِمّا لا يُؤدّي إلَى الفَسادِ في الدِّينِ فإنّهُ جائزٌ .⁵

6695.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Dissimulation has situations [necessitating it]. Whoever lifts them from their rightful places, they will not uphold him. The explanation of what should be dissimulated is like when there is an evil people whose outer rulings and actions oppose rightful rulings and actions, so everything that a believer does among them in a situation [necessitating] dissimulation is permissible, as long as it does not lead to the corruption of his faith.' ⁶

6696.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنّما جُعِلَتِ التَّقيَّةُ لِيُحقَنَ بِها الدَّمُ ، فإذا بَلَغَتِ التَّقيَّةُ الدّمَ فلا تَقيَّةَ . وايمُ اللَّهِ ، لَو دُعِيتُم لِتَنصُرونا لَقُلتُم: لا نَفعَلُ ، إنّما نَتَّقي ، ولَكانَتِ التَّقيَّةُ أحَبَّ إلَيكُم مِن آبائكُم واُمَّهاتِكُم ، ولَو قَد قامَ القائمُ ما احتاجَ إلى‏ مُساءلَتِكُم عَن ذلكَ ، ولَأقامَ في كَثيرٍ مِنكُم مِن أهلِ النِّفاقِ حَدَّ اللَّهِ .⁷

6696.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Dissimulation was established to withhold blood from being shed, so if dissimulation extends to bloodshed then there is no dissimulation. By Allah, if you are called to aid us you would say: 'We will not, rather we will dissimulate', then dissimulation would be more beloved to you than your fathers and mothers, and if the Awaited Saviour was to appear he would not need to ask you for it, and he would uphold the penalty of Allah among those of you who are hypocrites.' ⁸
