قال مصنف هذا الكتاب - رضي الله عنه -: من خالف هذه الأخبار وذهب إلى الاخبار الموافقة للعامة في ضدها اتقي كما يتقى العامة ولا يكلم إلا بالتقية كائنا من كان إلا أن يكون مسترشدا فيرشد ويبين له فإن البدعة إنما تماث وتبطل بترك ذكرها ولا قوة إلا بالله.
The compiler of this book (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى be pleased with him) comments: "Whoever opposes these narrations and adheres to those that align with the views of the general public in contradiction to them should be treated with caution, just as the general public is treated cautiously. Such individuals should only be addressed with precautionary dissimulation (taqiyyah), whoever they may be, unless they are sincerely seeking guidance, in which case they should be guided and the truth clarified to them. For innovation is only eradicated and invalidated by refraining from mentioning it. There is no power except with Allah سبحانه وتعالى."
