Sahih al-Bukhari 4342 (Book 65, Hadith 70)
“It is He who has sent down to you the Book. In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the
foundation of the Book, others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation
(from the Truth ). follow thereof that is not entirely clear seeking affliction and searching for its
hidden meanings; but no one knows its hidden meanings but Allah. And those who are firmly
grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in it (i.e. in the Qur’an) the whole of it (i.e. its clear and
unclear Verses) are from our Lord. And none receive admonition except men of understanding.” (3.7)
Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If you see those who follow thereof that is not entirely clear, then they are
those whom Allah has named ‘So beware of them.”
