Hadith 31-209

حَدَّثَنا جَعْفَر بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُور رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّد بْن عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ الحِمْيَريُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ هاشِمِ، عَنِ الرَّيانِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ، قالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: يا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّه ما تَقُولُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ؟ فَقالَ: كَلامُ اللَّهِ لا تَتَجاوَزُوهُ، وَلا تَطلُبُوا الهُدى‏ فِي غَيْرِهِ فَتَضِلُّوا.

Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Hemyari quoted on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of al-Rayyan ibn al-Salt, ‘I asked Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.): O son of God’s Prophet (S)! What do you think about the Qur’an?” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) said, “It is God’s Words. Do not go beyond its limits. Do not seek any other guidance as you will be lost.”
