11 - حدثنا محمد بن يعقوب قال: حدثنا عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن أبي وهب، عن محمد بن منصور قال: سألت عبداً صالحاً سلام الله عليه عن قول الله: قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّيَ الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَالْإِثْمَ وَالْبَغْيَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَأَنْ تُشْرِكُوا بِاللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَأَنْ تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (قال) فقال: إنّ القرآن له ظاهرٌ وباطن، فجميعُ ما حرّم الله في القرآن فهو حرام على ظاهره كما هو في الظاهر، والباطن من ذلك أئمّة الجور. وجميع ما أحل الله تعالى في الكتاب فهو حلال وهو الظاهر، والباطن من ذلك أئمة الحق.


(11) Muhammad bin Ya’qoob narrated from some of his companions from Ahmad bin Muhammad from al-Husayn bin Sa’eed from Abu Wahab that Muhammad bin Mansoor had said: “I have asked a virtuous slave (of Allah), peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, “My Lord has only prohibited indecencies, those of them that are apparent as well as those that are concealed,” and he said: “The Qur’an has apparent meanings and hidden meanings. All of those that Allah has prohibited in the Qur’an are impermissible as they have been mentioned apparently whereas the hidden thing in that is the imams of injustice and all of those that Allah has permitted are permissible as they are apparent whereas the hidden thing among them is the imams of guidance.”
