2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Yahya ibn abu ‘Umran from Yunus from Bakkar ibn Bakr from Musa ibn ’Ushaym who has said the following. “I was in presence o abu ‘Abdallah a man asked him about a verse of the book of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. The Imam explained it to him. Then another person came to see the Imam and asked him about the same verse. The Imam gave him a different explanation. This made as many things to my mind as Allah willed, as if my heart would have been shredded with knives. I then said to myself, “I left abu Qatada in Syria who would not make a mistake in even the letter ‘waw’ and now I have come to this man who makes all this mistake. At this another person came in to see him and asked him about the same verse. He then explained to him completely different from what he had explained to me and to the man just before. My soul relaxed at this point and I came to know that it was because of fear. He has said that then he (the Imam turned to me and said, “O ibn ’Ushaym, Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, made Solomon son of David in charge (of religious matters) and said, “This is our gift to you, you may do with it favors to others or with hold without being held responsible for anything. .” (38:39). He also made His Prophet the in charge and said, “. .what the Messenger (of Allah) you, you must take (obey) and what he prohibits you, you must desist from. .” (59:7) Of whatever the Messenger of Allah is made in charge he has made us the in charge thereof.”
