28-25 Ali ibn Abdullah al-Warraq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Mehrawayh al-Qazvini quoted on the authority of Dawood ibn Soleiman al-Qadhi, on the authority of Abil Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, on the authority of his father صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, on the authority of his forefathers صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, on the authority of the Commander of the Faithful صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, “The world is all ignorance except for the positions of knowledge. All knowledge is considered to be a proof against man,unless it is acted accordingly. All acts are out of hypocrisy, unless they are done sincerely. Sincerity is subject to danger unless a servant (i.e. a person) ponders over what his final ending will be.”
