圣门弟子之间的差异
Differences Among The Sahaabah
鉴于《古兰经》中这些明确的谴责,那么我们该如何解释先知的同伴(圣门弟子)以及早期法学家之间有时出现的分歧呢?
In view of these clear Qur’anic condemnations, how then do we account for the disagreement which occured at times among the Prophet’s (s.w.) companions (SahaabahO and the early scholars of Fiqh?
圣门弟子之间发生的意见分歧,大多是自然且难以避免的。其中很大一部分源于他们各自不同的理解能力,这种差异体现在他们对古兰经经文和圣训的不同解释上。另有一些导致分歧的原因,在当时存在,后来却消失了;例如,圣训广泛传播,以致任何一位圣门弟子都不可能全部知晓,因此在信息缺乏之处,错误的判断便难以避免。显然,对于这些以及类似的错误,他们不应受到指责,因为这些错误并非出于故意。
The differences of opinion which occured among the Sahaabah were for the most part natural and unavoidable. A large portion of it was due to their different reasoning abilities which showed up in their various interpretations of Qur’anic verses and Hadeeths. There were other causes which led to differences during their time which later disappeared; for example, the wide distribution of Hadeeths made it impossible for any individual Sahabee to be aware of them all, and thus wrong dicisions were bound to be made where information was lacking. Obviously, they cannot be blamed for these and similar mistakes, which were not intentional.
此外,很明显,当有可靠的信息或更相关的证据表明应当改正时,他们便欣然纠正自己错误的判断。正是这种在追求真理过程中愿意摒弃错误判断的态度,使这些相互冲突的裁决不属于应受谴责的分歧之列。在这方面,安拉的使者(SWT)曾说:“如果法官竭尽全力作出正确的裁决,他将获得两份报酬;如果他竭尽全力却犯了错误,他仍获得一份报酬。”
