Among the Concise Words of the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him)
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "اَلْعَامِلُ عَلَى غَيْرِ بَصِيرَةٍ كَالسَّائِرِ عَلَى غَيْرِ اَلطَّرِيقِ فَلاَ تَزِيدُهُ سُرْعَةُ اَلسَّيْرِ مِنَ اَلطَّرِيقِ إِلاَّ بُعْداً".
Muhammad ibn Sinan narrated from Talhah ibn Zayd, who said: "I heard Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say: 'One who acts without insight is like a traveler walking off the path. The faster he moves, the farther he becomes from the correct way.'"
