it became clear that what they mentioned is a deception far from the truth and that the common people who are deceived by it are extremely foolish because they are deceiving the common people by telling them to follow conjecture and conjecture does not replace the truth at all. in matters of jurisprudence it is necessary to follow conjecture as is the case in trade politics and settling disputes for the sake of interests. all matters of interest are based on conjecture and how can the infallible one replace this conjecture when the owner of the shariah did not replace it and was not able to do so? rather he permitted ijtihad reliance on the words of individual narrators from him and adherence to… with the generalities of the words and all of that is a conjecture that was acted upon in his time while he was alive so how can that be considered ugly after his death?
فاستبان أن ما ذكروه تلبيس بعيد عن التحقيق وان العامي المنخدع به في غاية الحمق لانهم يلبسون على العوام بان يتبعوا الظن وان الظن لا يغني عن الحق شيئا والفقهيات لا بد فيها من اتباع الظن فهو ضروري كما في التجارات والسياسات وفصل الخصومات للمصالح فان كل الامور المصلحية تبنى على الظن والمعصوم كيف يغني عن هذا الظن وصاحب الشريعة لم يغن عنه ولم يقدر عليه بل أذن في الاجتهاد وفي الاعتماد على قول آحاد الرواة عنه وفي التمسك بعمومات الألفاظ وكل ذلك ظن عمل به في عصره مع وجوده فكيف يستقبح ذلك بعد وفاته
