1ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنّما سُمِّيَتِ الشُّبهَةُ شُبهَةً لأ نّها تُشبِهُ الحَقَّ ، فأمّا أولياءُ اللّهِ فَضِياؤهُم فيها اليَقينُ ودَلِيلُهُم سَمتُ الهُدى ، وأمّا أعداءُ اللّهِ فَدُعاؤهُم فيها الضَّلالُ ودَليلُهُمُ العَمى. |
| 1– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The obscure matter has been termed obscure for the very fact that it resembles [and therefore obscures] the truth. The friends of Allah take recourse in conviction as their light therein and the direction of the right path itself as their guide, whereas the enemies of Allah use it to call [others] to deviation and blind following is their guide therein.’[Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 38] |

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): اِحذَرُوا الشُّبهَةَ ؛ فإنّها وُضِعَت لِلفِتنَةِ. |
| 2– Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Be on your guard against the obscure matter, for verily it has been set down in order to test [people].’[Nahj al-Sa`ada, v. 2, p. 320] |

3ـ الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): الوُقوفُ عِندَ الشُّبهَةِ خَيرٌ مِن الاِقتِحامِ في الهَلَكَةِ وتَركُكَ حديثاً لم تَروِه خيرٌ مِن رِوايَتِكَ حديثاً لَم تُحصِهِ. |
| 3– Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'Stopping in the face of an obscure matter is better than plunging headlong into disaster.’[A`alam al-Din, p. 301] |
|
4ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أورَعُ الناسِ مَن وَقَفَ عِندَ الشُّبهَةِ. |
| 4– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The most pious of people is he who stops in the face of an obscure matter.’[al-Khisal, p. 16, no. 56] |
