قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ فَاسْأَلُونِي عَنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نَهَى عَنِ الْقِيلِ وَ الْقَالِ وَ فَسَادِ الْمَالِ وَ كَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ فَقَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ أَيْنَ هَذَا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ لا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْواهُمْ الْآيَةَ وَ قَالَ وَ لا تُؤْتُوا السُّفَهاءَ أَمْوالَكُمُ الَّتِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ قِياماً وَ قَالَ لا تَسْئَلُوا عَنْ أَشْياءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, altogether from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, and Ibn Muskan, from Abu Al Jaroud who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever I<sup>asws</sup> narrate to you all, so ask me<sup>asws</sup> about (where it is from) the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said in a Hadeeth of his<sup>asws</sup> that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Forbidden from the ‘It was said such’, and ‘he said such’, and the spoiling of the wealth, and the abundance of questioning’. So they said, ‘O son<sup>asws</sup> of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! And where is this from the Book of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah Mighty and Majestic is Saying in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h114"><a href="/books/quran:4#h114">[4:114]</a></a> There is no good in most of their secret counsels </span>– the Verse, and He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h5"><a href="/books/quran:4#h5">[4:5]</a></a> And do not give away your property to the foolish which Allah has Made for you a (means of) support</span>; and He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h101"><a href="/books/quran:5#h101">[5:101]</a></a> O you who believe! Do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you</span>’.
