١٠ - حدثنا محمد بن يعقوب قال: حدثنا عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن أبي وهب، عن محمد بن مصنور قال: سألته - يعني أبا عبد الله - عن قول الله وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ (قال) فقال: هل رأيتَ أحداً زعم أنّ الله أمره بالزنا وشربِ الخمر أو شيء من هذه المحارم؟ فقلت: لا. قال: فما هذه الفاحشةُ التي يدّعون أن الله أمرهم بها؟ قلت: الله أعلم ووليه، قال: فإن هذا في أولياء أئمّة الجور ادّعوا أنّ الله أمرَهم بالائتمام بقومٍ لم يأمرهم الله بالائتمام بهم، فردّ اللهُ ذلك عليهم وأخبر أنهم قد قالوا عليه الكذبَ وسمّى ذلك منهم فاحشة.
(10) 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 asked Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq  about the saying of Allah, “And when they commit an indecency they say: We found our fathers doing this, and Allah has enjoined it on us. Say: Surely Allah does not enjoin indecency; do you say against Allah what you do not know?” and he said: “Have you seen anyone claiming that Allah has ordered him to commit adultery, to drink wine or to do any other sin?” I said: “No, I have not.” He said: “Then what is this indecency that they claim that Allah has ordered them to do?” I said: “Allah and His guardian are more aware!” He said: “This is among the followers of the imams of injustice and oppression. They claim that Allah has ordered them to follow some people, whom Allah has never ordered them to follow. So Allah has denied their saying and has informed them that they have fabricated lies; therefore He has called that as indecency.”
