طَاوُسٌ الْيَمَانِي، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ

[Machine] I said, "O Prophet of Allah, inform me." He said, "If you wish, I can inform you about what you came to ask, and if you wish, ask me." I said, "Rather, inform me, O Messenger of Allah, for it is better for my soul." He said, "You came to ask about certainty and doubt." I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, that is it." He said, "Indeed, certainty is what settles in the heart and brings tranquility to it. And if the obsessed comes to you, then leave what causes doubt and turn to that which does not cause doubt. Indeed, goodness brings tranquility and doubt brings confusion. And when you are in doubt, leave what causes doubt and turn to that which does not cause doubt." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, by my father and mother, what is fanaticism?" He said, "To support your people in wrongdoing, to have caution with suspicions, and to be eager for the world that you seek unlawfully, and sin is what causes agitation in the heart."  

قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ نَبِّئْنِي قَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْبَأْتُكَ بِمَا جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَسَلْ» قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلْ نَبِّئْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَطْيَبُ لِنَفْسِي قَالَ «جِئْتَ تَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْيَقِينِ وَالشَّكِّ» قَالَ قُلْتُ هُوَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ الْيَقِينَ مَا اسْتَقَرَّ فِي الصَّدْرِ وَاطْمَأَنَّ إِلَيْهِ الْقَلْبُ وَإِنْ أَفْتَاكَ الْمَفْتُونُ دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ طُمَأْنِينَةُ وَالشَّكَّ رِيبَةٌ وَإِذَا شَكَكْتَ فَدَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لَا يَرِيبُكَ» قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي فَمَا الْعَصَبِيَّةُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُعِينَ قَوْمَكَ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ وَالْوَرِعُ الَّذِي يَقِفُ عَلَى الشُّبُهَاتِ وَالْحَرِيصُ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا الَّذِي يَطْلُبُهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ حَلٍّ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي الصَّدْرِ»
