the second are the infidels who were raised against the truth hearing from their fathers and imitating them. they are called upon by us to imitate the infallible prophet who was supported by miracles and to follow his sunnah and his book. and you call him to your infallible one. i wonder which of us is more similar to the companions of the messenger of god may god bless him and grant him peace the one who calls to the prophet who was supported by miracles or the one who calls to the one who claims infallibility with his desires without a miracle. the third group is from the group that has departed from the realm of imitators and knows that in imitation there is the danger of error so he is no longer satisfied with it. so we call him to look at the creation of the heavens and the earth so that he may know the creator and to reflect on the miracles of the prophet may god bless him and grant him peace so that he may know his sincerity while you call him to imitate the infallible and you deny the reasons insight and embellish it. i wonder which of the two invitations is more in accordance with the invitation of the companions of the messenger of god may god bless him and grant him peace. so when they said to the doubtful seeker of guidance beware of reasons insight and contemplation for in it is the danger of error. and for this reason the observers differed.
