Sahih al-Bukhari 4547

Hadith text

Narrated `Aisha:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited the Verse:-- "It is He who has sent down to you the Book. In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundation of the Book, others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the Truth ). follow thereof that is not entirely clear seeking affliction and searching for its hidden meanings; but no one knows its hidden meanings but Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it (i.e. in the Qur'an) the whole of it (i.e. its clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord. And none receive admonition except men of understanding." (3.7) Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If you see those who follow thereof that is not entirely clear, then they are those whom Allah has named [as having deviation (from the Truth)] 'So beware of them

Aisha bataati hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne ye Aayat padhi: 'Wahi hai jisne tumpar Kitaab naazil ki, isme kuch Aayaten saaf aur wazeh hain, wo Kitaab ki buniyaad hain, aur kuch mutashaabih (ghair-wazeh) hain. Jinke dilon mein kaji (tirchhaapan) hai wo un mutashaabih Aayaton ke peechhe padte hain, fitna failaane aur unke chhupe maayne dhoondhne ke liye; jabke unke chhupe maayne sirf Allah jaanta hai. Aur jo ilm mein pukhta hain wo kehte hain, "Hum is (Quran) par Iman laaye, iski har baat hamare Rab ki taraf se hai." Aur naseehat sirf samajhdaar log hi haasil karte hain.' (3:7) Phir Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Jab tum unhe dekho jo mutashaabih Aayaton ke peechhe padte hain, to jaan lo ke Allah ne unhi logon ko (kaji rakhne wala) bataya hai, isliye unse hoshiyaar raho.'
