Do not imitate the priests and jurists blindly - التفسير الأقوم

Imam Sadiq A.S. said: The generality of the Jews had recognized their priest being with the open lying, and with consuming the Prohibited, and with the bribery, and with changing the rulings from its Obligatory by the intercession (of someone), and the gifts and the favors, and they recognized them with the severe prejudices which they were dividing their religion with. And they, when they were prejudicial, removed the rights of one they were prejudicial against, and gave to one who was not rightful for it out of prejudice for him, from the wealth of others, and they were unjust to them for their sake, and they recognized them to be indulging in the Prohibitions, and were compelled with the recognition of their hearts to that, if one were to do what they were doing, so he is an immoral one, it would not be allowed that he be ratified to Allah The Mighty nor being an intermediary between the people and Allah The Exalted . Therefore, due to that is their condemnation when they imitate one who they recognized and one whom they knew that it is not allowed to accept his Narrations, nor (allowed) to ratify him in his stories, nor (allowed) to act with what one would fulfill to them from the one who did not witness him, and it was Obligatory upon them to consider themselves regarding the matter of The Holy Prophet of Allah S.A., when it was such that his evidence was clearer than what was hidden, and more publicized that what was not manifested to them. And, similar to that are the generality of our community, when they recognize from their jurists, the apparent immoralities, and the severe prejudices, and the scrambling upon the chattels of the world and its Prohibitions, and the destruction of the one they are prejudicial against, and even though the correction of his matters is more rightful, and the fluttering with the righteousness and the favors upon the one they are prejudicial for, and even though the disgrace and the belittling was more rightful in his case.
