Al-Kāfi / Prohibition on Speaking without Knowledge 5

People must say what they know and abstain from saying anything that they have no knowledge of.

Hawzah News Agency - Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Asbat from Ja’far ibn Sama‘a from several persons, from aban, from Zurara ibn A‘yan who has said the following.

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (a.s) مَا حَقُّ الله عَلَى الْعِبَادِ قَالَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا مَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيَقِفُوا عِنْدَ مَا لا يَعْلَمُونَ.

“I asked Imam abu Ja‘far (a.s) this, ‘What are the rights of Allah on people?’” The Imam (a.s) replied, “They must say what they know and abstain from saying anything that they have no knowledge of.’”
