 ٩ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَهْبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَإِذا فَعَلُوا فاحِشَةً قالُوا وَجَدْنا عَلَيْها آباءَنا وَالله أَمَرَنا بِها قُلْ إِنَّ الله لا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشاءِ أَ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى الله ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ أَحَداً زَعَمَ أَنَّ الله أَمَرَ بِالزِّنَا وَشُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ أَوْ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَحَارِمِ فَقُلْتُ لا فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْفَاحِشَةُ الَّتِي يَدَّعُونَ أَنَّ الله أَمَرَهُمْ بِهَا قُلْتُ الله أَعْلَمُ وَوَلِيُّهُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ هَذَا فِي أَئِمَّةِ الْجَوْرِ ادَّعَوْا أَنَّ الله أَمَرَهُمْ بِالائْتِمَامِ بِقَوْمٍ لَمْ يَأْمُرْهُمُ الله بِالائْتِمَامِ بِهِمْ فَرَدَّ الله ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ قَالُوا عَلَيْهِ الْكَذِبَ وَسَمَّى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَاحِشَةً.
 9. A number of our people has narrated Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Sa‘id from Wahab from mmd ibn Mansur who has said the following. “I asked (the Imam  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, ‘When (The faithless) commit indecent acts they say, “We found our fathers doing this and God has commanded us to do the same.” (Muhammad) tell them that God does not command anyone to commit indecency. Do you speak for God, saying things of which you have no knowledge? (7:28) The Imam  said, “Have you come across any one who would think that Allah has commanded to commit indecent acts, drink wine or other such unlawful things?” I said, “No, I have not done so.” He then said, “What is this indecent act that they claim to have committed because of the command of Allah?” I said, “Allah knows best and His deputy also knows.” He said, “This is found in the unjust Imams. They claim that Allah has commanded them to lead their people and, in fact, Allah has not given them any command to follow them. Allah, thus, has refuted them and has informed (others) that they have spoke lies against Him and their act as such is called an indecent one.”
