My little son, even if your question is foolish?! ‐Give me an answer to it. ‐Question! ‐Do you have<br />

eyes? ‐Yes. ‐What do you see with them? ‐I see with them colors and persons. ‐Do you have a<br />

nose? ‐Yes. ‐What do you do with it? ‐I smell with it. ‐Do you have a tongue? ‐What do you do<br />

with it? ‐I speak with it. ‐Do you have an ear? ‐Yes. ‐What do you do with it? ‐I hear sounds with it.<br />

576 ‐Do you have hands? ‐Yes. ‐What do you do with them? ‐I strike with them, and distinguish<br />

the soft from the coarse. ‐Do you have legs? ‐Yes. ‐What do you do with them? ‐I move from one<br />

place to another with them. ‐Do you have a heart? ‐Yes. ‐What do you do with it? ‐With it I<br />

perceive all that which <strong>com</strong>es through these limbs. ‐Are these limbs in no need of the heart? ‐No.<br />

‐How is that, and they are healthy and sound? ‐O My little son, surely if the limbs have doubt of a<br />

thing, they smell it or taste it, so they send it to the heart; accordingly, certitude is sure, and doubt<br />

is false. ‐Has Allah installed the heart for the doubt of the limbs? ‐Yes. ‐So there is no escape from<br />

the heart; otherwise the limbs are not sure (of things)? ‐Yes.<br />

After Hisham had taken these premises from ‘Amru, he repeated to him that his belief in that<br />

Allah’s Apostle died without (appointing) a testamentary trustee (of authority) was invalid, saying<br />

to him:<br />

‐O Abu Merwan, surely Allah has not left your limbs without an Imam (leader); He has appointed<br />

an Imam to them to confirm the correct and negate that of which they have doubt; therefore,<br />

how did He leave all the creatures in perplexity, doubt, and differences? Why did He not appoint<br />

an Imam over them, that they might resort to him when they were doubtful and perplexed, while<br />

He has appointed an Imam over your limbs, that you may resort to him when you are doubtful<br />

and perplexed?<br />

‘Amru kept silent and was unable to give an answer, for Hisham had blocked all the avenues<br />

before him. Then he turned to him and asked him:<br />

‐Are you Hisham?<br />

‐No.<br />

‐Did you sit with him?<br />

‐No.<br />

‐Where are you from?<br />

‐From Kufa.<br />

‐Therefore, you are he.<br />
