4547. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها عنها Allah's Messenger ﷺ recited the Verse: "It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad ﷺ) the Book (this Qur'an). In it are Verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundation of the Book [and those are the Verses of Al-Ahkām (commandments), Al-Farā'id (obligatory duties) and Al-Hudūd (laws for the punishment of thieves, adulterers etc.)]; and others not entirely clear. So, as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah (polytheism and trials) and seeking for its hidden meanings; but none knows its hidden meanings save Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: 'We believe in it; the whole of it (clear and unclear Verses) are from our Lord.' And none receive admonition except men of understanding." (V.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 Allāh has named [as having deviation (from the truth)] So beware of them."
